Things Not Seen

by Andrew Clements
Carver County Library paperback 252 pages
genre: YA SciFi, relationships

Bobby Phillips wakes up invisible one day and embarks on an identity crisis that helps him to mature. His parents tell him to stay home and not let anyone know, but he goes out (fully clothed head to toe) just for something to do. Once indoors at the library, he removes all his clothing in the men's room so he doesn't look suspicious. His naked invisible self bumps into a blind girl and a friendship with the beautiful Alicia changes his world.

Cute story. Okay book club discussion with the eighth graders yesterday . . . too many had not read it or had read it a few years ago.
