This is the story of Bobby, a 15 year old who wakes up one more and finds himself invisible. He can't go to school or talk to any of his friends, but he does meet and develop a friendship with a blind girl named Alicia. At first Alicia doesn't know that Bobby is invisible, but once she does, she sets out to help him become visible again.
Over the course of a few weeks, Bobby attempts to learn how he developed his condition and how it can be reversed. He also learns how to deal with his condition and how it's changed his life.
This book is on our curriculum, but I don't know if I'm going to teach it. It's pretty sci-fi and I'm not sure that all my students would like it. But I will recommend it and make it available because I think quite a few of my students will like it.

I had read it last year and i had LOVED it. I prefer it as a stand alone book though because i remember it ending on a good note. I loved the science behind it all and when it all unraveled. A little nerving for a guy fulling naked to be just walking around in public, even though he cant be seen

Andrew Clements is a great children's/young adult writer. He really seems to understand what motivates them. I have yet to read one that I don't like and I have yet to recommend one that someone hasn't liked. With Things Not Seen he moves a little beyond the upper elementary and into middle school/young adult. But the characters and story telling hasn't lost any of the quality. His characters are well developed and complex.
Bobby is a typical teenager even though he woke up one morning completely invisible. He struggles with his parents, struggles with talking to the girl he likes, and he struggles with finding himself as no one can see him. Turning invisible may be the best thing that ever happens to Bobby because it helps him become a better, stronger person.

I read this book while staying at my cousin's house one week. Its a very interesting concept, being invisible all the time. What would you do, where would you go?
