Reach for this book when your teenager expresses a profound sense of isolation, feeling as though they are 'invisible' to their peers or disconnected from the modern world. This haunting science fiction classic uses a supernatural premise to explore the very real psychological experience of adolescent alienation. Graeme Drury begins to literally fade away, first ignored by strangers and then by his own family, as he slips into a silent, grey version of reality. It is a powerful metaphor for the loneliness of growing up and the fear of being forgotten. Parents will appreciate the book's ability to validate deep feelings of depression or social detachment through a gripping, atmospheric mystery. While the tone is unsettling, it provides a safe, literary space to discuss mental health and the importance of human connection without being overly didactic.
