I like the idea of a boy who has an invisibility superpower; I like that he has fun and has a close relationship with his sister. BUT I felt like parts were missing from this book; I never understood WHY he could turn invisible and how he controls it or when it started. And he mostly uses the invisibility to be naughty, sometimes cruel, and prank people. None of the characters were very likable to me.

It was cute but not enough plot to hold my interest. The characters were a little bland and one dimensional.

I received an electronic ARC from Humanoids through NetGalley.
While the action is fast paced and appealing to elementary level readers, I'm not a big fan of the mean spirited punching, hitting, etc. The sibling sparring is normal and humorous as is the bright young woman attempting to unravel Leopold's ability. The illustrations are detailed and readers will study them to catch every bit of the unfolding story.

This was a silly comic that I'm sure my fourth graders wouldn't hesitate to read. Leo explores all the ways he can use his powers of invisibility to play pranks on everyone from his family to the other kids at school. I liked the introduction of the antagonist who becomes privy to his unique talent and makes it her mission to have him exposed. The whole concept was fairly simple, but will ultimately be an enjoyable read for elementary students.

An ok concept, but the author could have done so much more with the story line. It just seems to be several short blurbs with no cohesive story. The "story" is tedious, choppy, and needs more development. I have no desire to read the rest of the series in future.

I was thankful to have had the opportunity to read this book as I am always looking for graphic novels for my classroom. However, I did not think that this particular story had enough meat to it. Additionally, there were some themes (ex. Mafia making Leo swallow drugs) which I felt were inappropriate.
At this time I would not recommend this book for classroom use.

This book is a middle grade graphic novel with a fun concept. Leopold can become invisible. The story has many of the same hi jinks as many MG novels, but I find things are sometimes mean and cruel. Like smacking girls while invisible to prove a point for your sister. I don’t agree with some of these hi kinks. They set a bad example. So while I did enjoy it, I would not recommend it.

This was an okay beginner graphic novel. Leopold finds that he has a special gift of being invisible. He uses it to prank his sister, parents and kids at school. There’s a lot of potty humor and joking.

Some fun subversive moments and the creators demonstrate solid comic timing but something about this left a sour taste. It’s one of the books where if you mention concerns you come off as a party pooper or uptight. I’m a fan of goofy humor but parts felt a little too mean-spirited. There’s a moment, for example, when the lead character calls a girl he doesn’t like “ugly” and then implies she’s not worthy of the “cute” boy she’s talking to. I get it that the hero actually might be in denial about liking her but I don’t know: it bugged me.

I requested and received an e-ARC of this book from NetGalley and Humanoids publishing in exchange for an honest review.

I liked this book; the illustrations were fun and detailed. I think Leopold and his sister do what all children would do if they had the ability to make themselves invisible and that is to push the envelope and see how much you can get away with. I like the rivalry between Leopold and Alice and I really liked the activities at the end of the book.

#WhereAreYouLeopold #NetGalley

Funny book! Reminiscent of Hilda, but less fantastical. Read this with my 10 year old daughters and we had many laughs throughout the story. Planned to read a section at a time, but we were enjoying so much we read in one sitting.

When Leopold discovers he has the powers of invisibility in Where Are You, Leopold?: The Invisibility Game, his life gets a lot more fun and a lot more complicated. His pranks have never landed this spectacularly, but now he has to keep his new powers under wraps. When nosy classmate Alice starts sniffing around, Super Leo has to battle it out to keep his secret identity, well, secret.

This charming middle grade graphic novel focuses on the silliness and joy of childhood in a way that feels refreshingly genuine. Practical jokes and fart humor come across as genuinely funny rather than pandering attempts to appeal to middle grade readers. Leo’s sister plays a substantial role in the plot; their relationship rings true and she shines throughout. The narrative’s engaging, episodic format offers short chapters with relatively self-contained stories moving the overall plot forward effectively. 

Originally in French, none of its exuberance, humor, or essential sweetness is lost in translation. A few minor details might stick out to American readers as initially unfamiliar, particularly the focus on Curly Wurlies, a delicious, inexpensive British chocolate and caramel candy bar sold around the world and beloved by Super Leo and his sister. But given the context of the sibling’s fondness for cake, candy, and other snacks, readers will happily take this quirk in stride.

Highly recommended for any school age graphic novel collection.

Fast paced graphic novel for upper elementary.
Some questionable behavior and vocabulary - but otherwise a cute story about Leo who learns to become invisible and his sister, Celine, who sometimes eggs him on and other times is driven crazy by him. When a classmate sees him turn invisible, they know they have to try to get her to keep the secret. Celine "trains" Leo to be a super hero - they work on speed, building muscle, and reflexes.
Some puzzles and other activities in the back of the book.

I’m divided about this book. The illustrations are really cute and it reads like a fun children’s book but some the jokes or lines are more for grown ups, like the part about how invisible Leopold could be used by the mob or to smug drugs! It actually says the word drugs and it shows them. So I don’t know if I would consider this a children’s book. Seems too young for teenagers and definitely not for little kids.
