She Is Not Invisible by Marcus Sedgwick
3.0

This book follows Laureth who takes her younger brother to search for their father who appears to have gone missing. Laureth is 16 and has never traveled without an adult before and to make things more difficult she is blind and has to look after her brother as they search in an unknown city for their father.

This book started out so promising. I really liked the idea and I was really hooked from the start. There are some events that occur that are too convenient and not realistic. The scenes at the airport would never happen.

There was a lot of build up which I thought was leading to a dramatic ending but unfortunately, the ending was very disappointing. What did like was the relationship between the two characters I always enjoy seeing close sibling relationships in books. I also liked that the author used a main character who was blind. This added a different perspective that you don't see very often.

Overall this was an ok read but the ending left me slightly disappointed. It was a very quick read and I read the majority of it in a day.
