"Things Not Seen" by Andrew Clements

Being invisible would be so cool, right? You could sneak around, scare your friends, just have a good time. But what about when you go to bed? Or when you're trying to be normal with your family? What if you just want to do something as simple as check out a library book? Bobby Philips' life goes from normal to supernatural one night. Just when he thinks he is destined to have no friends for the rest of his life, he meets someone he can trust with his secret -- because she couldn't see him even if he hadn't been invisible. She was blind. This amazing thriller of a book puts the concept of invisibility in a new light.

Appropriate for: teens and adults

  2. I just finished reading this and really enjoyed it. How cool to juxtapose invisibility and blindness and the challenges of both conditions. - Dad
