Hoby Hobson has problems. The neighborhood bully, Hammerhead Jones, is waiting for the perfect chance to clobber him. Hoby's mother is pregnant and she's been acting strangely, and to top it off, he's just discovered an invisible boy named Zirc living in his backyard hammock.

"Hoby is resourceful and realistic, and Zirc's futuristic slang is amusing."
School Library Journal

"A dictionary of Zirc's jaunty future - millennium vocabulary caps this entertaining story."
