But my poor neighbors have to live through them with me. Yesterday I was telling one of them that I never know what to expect with Shusterman novels. They are all so different. And I've liked them all.His first series that I read was Unwind and it was aimed at 14 yos and a terrifying dystopia. The second was the Scythe series which was super dark. Then I read Challenger Deep which was about mental illness (which I didn't realize until halfway through). And now The Schwa.The Schwa is functionally invisible. Four out of five people don't see The Schwa or even know that he's there. This is the first of Shusterman's books for kids that really seemed like it was for kids. And I really liked it.This is a book for anyone who has ever felt invisible. Middle children, kids with missing parents, the less popular ones. Pretty much anyone who has felt invisible, even if just for a moment. It's about friendship and the town curmudgeon. I'd recommend for sure. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome book! Also one of my favorites. *by R***L on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 7, 2013* The Shwa was Here is greatly written and I believe would be a great book to be read in school. Everyone, popular or not, can relate to feeling invisible. This book is relatable, has a great message, and is narrated by a charming narrator with classic New York humor and sarcasm. The narrator, Antsy, also seemed to read my mind on most parts in the book in the great way that Neal Shusterman's books do. The first time I read this book was with my mom when I was about 12, and I don't think you can grow out of the quality and deep thinking that this book produces in your mind at the ending. If anything, you might get more of the jokes! Definite must-buy! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars A Winner for YA Readers *by T***G on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 3, 2016* I loved this book! The main character has a slightly sarcastic, humorous voice that held my interest. I like the way he thinks. I will definitely be recommending this book to my 8th graders. I also ordered the next two in the series, but I haven't read them yet. I want to see what happens next in this character's life. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/10046475-the-schwa-was-here](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/10046475-the-schwa-was-here) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-23*
