From award-winning author Emily Jenkins and New York Times bestselling illustrator Harry Bliss comes the first book in a sweet, quirky chapter book series about a boy and his invisible friend, Inkling. Perfect for fans of Clementine and Ivy and Bean. This series is a great choice for emerging readers who are ready for chapter books.The thing about Hank''s new friend Inkling is, he''s invisible.No, not imaginary. Inkling is an invisible bandapat, a creature native to the Peruvian Woods of Mystery. (Or maybe it is the Ukrainian glaciers. Inkling hardly ever gets his stories straight.)Now Inkling has found his way into Hank''s apartment on his quest for squash, a bandapat favorite. But Hank has bigger problems than helping Inkling fend off maniac doggies and searching for pumpkins: Bruno Gillicut is a lunch-stealing, dirtbug caveperson and he''s got to be stopped. And who better to help stand up to a bully than an invisible friend?

It''s Halloween in Emily Jenkins''s Dangerous Pumpkins, the second title in the chapter-book series about a Brooklyn fourth grader and his invisible furry pal.Hank Wolowitz hates Halloween. Every year his older sister, Nadia, scares him half to death. But Hank''s invisible bandapat, Inkling, loves Halloween. Pumpkins are his favorite food. Hank has serious trouble stopping Inkling from devouring every jack-o''-lantern in their neighborhood, including the ones his sister carves. And that''s not his only problem: Will he ever figure out a cool costume? Will he finally get to pick the holiday flavor in his family''s ice-cream shop? Will Hank ever get revenge on Nadia?Kids will love Hank and Inkling''s latest adventure, illustrated by acclaimed artist Harry Bliss.

The adventures of Brooklyn boy Hank Wolowitz and his invisible—but not imaginary—friend continue with The Whoopie Pie War, the third book in the Invisible Inkling series by Emily Jenkins. A truck selling ice-cream whoopie pies sets up right in front of the ice-cream shop belonging to Hank''s family, and it''s taking away all the shop''s business. His dad is going crazy. His mom is furious. Hank and Inkling, his invisible bandapat, aren''t going to take it. The Whoopie Pie War is on! They''ll do whatever it takes to beat the whoopie pie truck—unicorn costumes, extreme kindness, an army of supervillains.The illustrated chapter book''s mix of silliness, fantasy, strong sense of place, and a realistic family make it a great pick for middle-grade readers.
