In the third book about Billie and her invisibility powder, Billie's archenemy Alyssa steals the powder and inadvertently makes herself disappear. Jocelyn substitutes quick dialogue and slapstick humor for character development, and the fantasy is not tightly woven. However, the friendship dynamics and the high drama that passes for everyday life in sixth grade both ring true. Black-and-white drawings are included.
