A Brooklyn eighth grader nicknamed Antsy makes friends with the Schwa, a boy who is so good at blending in with his surroundings that he is, for all intents and purposes, invisible. Antsy takes advantage of the Schwa's skills of invisibility by charging students for tasks that only he could accomplish. When he tries to steal a dog bowl from an old man and gets caught, Antsy and the Schwa are enlisted to escort the old man's blind granddaughter. This is the beginning of a friendship, with some twists and turns. The Schwa struggles with the fear of disappearing (like his mother), but Antsy's friendship helps him come to terms with that.
