What is the Difference between Lorentz Invariant and Lorentz Covariant?

Like my title, I sometimes see that my books says something is Lorentz invariant or Lorentz covariant. What's the difference between these two transformation properties? Or are they just the same thing? If they are different, is there a term called "Lorentz contravariant" like tensors?
