Michael joins a new family. It builds and burns around him. Sometimes he wonders if he is invisible.

Michael Mysterious

By Geoffrey Simon Brown

When Michael’s grandmother dies, he is taken in by the mother of his estranged childhood best friend and invited to live at her new boyfriend’s suburban home. Arlene wants a family. July wants to leave. Jeremy wants to fit in. Paul wants to be young again. Everyone wants Michael to be something; Michael needs a place to be.
