Title:  Things Not Seen
Author:  Andrew Clements
Reviewer:   Allie R. '10
This book is about a boy named Bobby Phillips who wakes up one morning and realizes he has turned invisible! His parents decide that he should stay home, but Bobby gets sick of staying home after a few days and while his parents are at work he goes to the library. On the way out of the library, Bobby runs into a girl and knocks both of them over. After finding out the girl is blind, the next time Bobby sees her he decides to talk to her. In a while the girl (Alicia) and Bobby become friends.
 
The problem in this story is that the police think something might be wrong with Bobby because he has been absent from school for so long. Bobby's mother keeps making up lies about why no one has seen Bobby for so long but now the police want to actually see Bobby. And they can't.
I would recommend this book to anyone because I thought it was really, really good.
