The Schwa was Here is on the Rebecca Caudill 2008 list.
Here is the excerpt of the review from Amazon:
"When Anthony "Antsy" Bonano and his friends meet Calvin Schwa, they are impressed and puzzled by his ability to appear and disappear before their very eyes. Antsy concocts a moneymaking scheme based on the Schwa's invisibility that seems promising until he and his friends overreach and are caught by the town's legendary mean millionaire, Mr. Crawley. Schwa is an average kid who hangs on the outskirts of the crowd and longs to be noticed and included, not simply ignored."
The narrator of the story, Antsy, had a wonderful voice. He was a bit sassy and often had me laughing out loud. :) The story also gives you alot to think about: friendship, including others, and being comfortable with yourself.
Happy reading! If you read The Schwa was Here, comment on this post and let me know how you liked it. :)
