One of Daily Hive's "12 hot-off-the-press books we recommend
reading this September"
“Invisible Boy is told with a vibrancy unique to the author.
Mooney’s generosity of spirit, his sense of humour and capacity to
transcend the self creates a book that is as riveting as it is
incendiary.”
--The Tyee
“An affecting portrait of life inside the twin prisons of racism
and unbending orthodoxy.”
--Kirkus Reviews
"A stark and startling memoir, Mooney's vital story depicts the
violence of transracial adoption in the all-too-frequent cases
where white parents simply decline to engage with the realities
facing their non-white children."
--Booklist
“Invisible Boy is a touching memoir about heritage, religion, and
race.”
--Foreword Reviews
“A harrowing account of a childhood spent wrestling with big
questions while an adoptive family offers all the wrong answers. I
couldn’t get enough of young Harrison Mooney’s determination to
understand racism and the casually cruel ideas that animated his
reactionary religious upbringing. Invisible Boy cuts deep with
just-in-time insights about faith, family, and coming of age in a
deeply flawed world.”
--Sarah Berman, author of Don’t Call It a Cult
