    Publisher’s Synopsis: What’s worse than being invisible? Being noticed by the school bully.

    Greta Grace likes her life. She isn’t the most popular girl in school-some days she even feels invisible-but she gets good grades and stays out of trouble.

    She has a best friend in Samantha and a grandmotherly neighbor who is never too busy for a chat. Her mom can be a bit overprotective, but Greta Grace doesn’t blame her. Being a single parent probably isn’t the easiest job in the world.

    When her longtime crush finally starts noticing her, Greta Grace thinks her life might even be perfect.

    But when a merciless bully takes aim at Greta Grace, her carefree existence suddenly ends.

    Who ever knew that school could be so hard?
