Synopsis: Meet Brian, the invisible boy. Nobody in class ever seems to notice him or think to include him in their group, game, or birthday party. . . until, that is, a new kid comes to class.

When Justin, the new boy, arrives, Brian is the first to make him feel welcome. And when Brian and Justin team up to work on a class project together, Brian finds a way to shine.
