Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
What if you had 60 seconds to disappear?
Maya Chen is the new kid. Again.
Leo Parker can build robots but can’t read out loud.
Dev Patel hasn’t spoken since third grade.
Ari Rivera is the mayor’s son and the school’s biggest prankster.
When they discover Mr. Chen’s secret Project Phantom goggles, invisibility seems like the answer to all their problems.
For 60 seconds, no one can see them.
No bullies. No reading. No expectations. No pain.
But then the goggles break. The trophy case goes empty. A mop named El Diablo goes viral. And a dog named Waffles becomes a witness.
Now they have to fix it... visible.
