Things Not Seen, by Andrew Clements
Reviewed by Betelgeuse

I'll have to say that this is one of Andrew Clements' best. This is really great. Why it hasn't been rated in the Top Ten of the World yet, I don't know. While most of his books are about people in elementary school, this one is about a fifteen-year old. Bobby Phillips has a normal family. He has a normal school, and normal friends. Bobby is very normal, until he wakes up to find himself gone. Not a trace of him left. Invisible! When his physicist dad and his mom decide to keep quiet, he has to do really crazy things, such as running around stark naked, so nobody can see him. He befriends a blind girl named Alicia, who doesn't know of his secret until later. When the authorities start getting suspicious, Bobby, his parents, and Alicia will have to do anything to dodge them. They better find the cure for Bobby's invisibility fast, or he's in big trouble. This is definitely a book to read.
