Things Not Seen by Andrew Clements

Bobby Phillips was your average, shy high schooler who thought he was invisible among his peers. However, he didn't really know what being invisible was like until one morning. He woke up and got ready for school, only to find nothing in the mirror! With no reasonable explanation available, Bobby turned invisible! Without having the privilege to hang out with friends anymore, Bobby meets a sweet blind girl named Alicia. He can't help but to gain trust in her. Meanwhile, people start to wonder where Bobby went and this puts his family in jeapordy with the state. Will Bobby ever turn back to being a normal boy, or stay invisible for the rest of his life?I find this book very imaginitive and creative. Things Not Seen is not like many other books. By that I mean that it is not a book about a regular old day like the Clique Series, but it's not like the Eldest or Harry Potter type of fantasy book. This book is a fun adventure and has some lessons waiting to be learned along the way.
