3/5 Stars
B&N:
Bobby Phillips is an average fifteen-year-old boy. Until the morning he wakes up and can't see himself in the mirror. Not blind, not dreaming—Bobby is just plain invisible. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to Bobby's new condition; even his dad the physicist can't figure it out. For Bobby that means no school, no friends, no life. He's a missing person. Then he meets Alicia. She's blind, and Bobby can't resist talking to her, trusting her. But people are starting to wonder where Bobby is. Bobby knows that his invisibility could have dangerous consequences for his family and that time is running out. He has to find out how to be seen again—before it's too late.
My Review:
I've had this book in my library for a while, and I've heard some great things. I'm glad I read it so that I can recommend it to my students. It's an easier read, but the content can really create some great discussions. You can take the invisibility at face-value, or you can go a little deeper with it.
The characters were developed nicely. There were some funny parts, and then at the end, there was a point where you had to keep reading to find out how it all played out.
I heard there's a second one...I'll probably check that one out, too.
