I’m so excited to share some information about my second book, The Invisible Boy! I already had the idea for this story back when I sold The Eleventh Trade. Now, almost two years and ten drafts later, I’m diving into the final sets of edits, getting the cover, and preparing to introduce the world to Nadia Quick. She’s an aspiring journalist (in the tradition of her hero, Lois Lane) and the only things she likes more than good stories are crazy leggings.
The Invisible Boy launches June 9, 2020!
Nadia Quick sets out to investigate whether her neighbor-friend is an actual superhero, only to discover his secret identity is something far worse.

Story Blurb:
If no one sees him, does he exist? This superhero-inspired adventure story explores friendship and what it means to be a truly brave.
Nadia finds adventure in the pages of her Superman comic books, until a mysterious boy saves her dog from drowning during a storm and then disappears. Now she finds herself in the role of Lois Lane, hunting down the scoop of the Invisible Boy, and suddenly she’s in a real-life adventure that’s far more dangerous than anything in her comic books.
The Invisible Boy is a mystery and an adventure story, as well as a story about child labor trafficking. Like Katherine Applegate, author of Crenshaw and Wishtree, Alyssa Hollingsworth takes a difficult subject matter and makes it accessible for middle-grade readers.
