Things Not Seen

Clements, Andrew. Things Not Seen. New York City: Penguin Books, 2004. 251 pages. (Fantasy)


Bobby Philips is a normal 15 year old boy who lives in Chicago. One morning, he wakes up invisible. Not knowing how this happened, Bobby turns to his parents, the Professor (mom), and the Physicist (dad). Soon it becomes a race to figure out how Bobby became invisible and make him visible again because people start to wonder where Bobby is. Later, he meets Alicia, a blind girl. She begins to help him find out how he became invisible. Bobby starts telling her things and trusting her, but what happens if the government were to find out about the invisible boy? How are they going to find out what turned Bobby invisible and reverse it? You can read the story and find out.

This book was O.K. At some places in the beginning it would move slowly, but it was fun to read. Andrew Clements is a good author for young adults. All of his books are exciting.
