Description

Phineas and Ferb meets the Despicable Me series in this fanciful, humorous, and original (Kirkus Reviews) middle grade debut from acclaimed author Adi Alsaid about a wannabe hero who lives in a goofily evil kingdom where nefarious schemes abound.

Welcome to Nefaria, where nearly every day the kingdom faces another evil scheme.

Most are harmless, though, so the citizens of Nefaria simply learn to live with the latest hijinks and go on with their lives. This includes Bobert Bougainvillea, who is much more concerned with the fact that he seems to be invisible. From the teachers in his school to his classmates, almost no one notices Bobert, no matter how visible he tries to be. Then everything changes when Bobert follows his classmates to a cursed gumball machine.

Before he knows it, Bobert is sucked into one of Nefarias most villainous evil schemes, a plot that has been a long time in the makingtoo long, in the evil wizard Matts opinion. And retreating into invisibility this time wont do, not when Bobert is the only one with the drive, knowledge, andif his newfound courage doesnt fail himbravery to foil Matts plan.

Reviews
