 Clements //"Things Not Seen"// makes you question what you would do if you suddenly became invisible.

 Bobby has been caught in this situation and is unsure what to do. Usually, Bobby wakes up for school at 6AM every morning to get up and take a shower. A shower is like ten extra minutes of sleep for him. When he gets out and wipes the fog off the mirror, he sees nothing. Bobby is now invisible and doesn't have a clue of what to do or who to turn to. He tries to find a way to tell his parents and friends. What will he do? On the way of his extraordinary journey he meets the girl of his dreams. Alicia is pretty, nice, and fun. For some reason, she never seems to notice that Bobby is invisible. Later he realizes that Alicia is blind. The book takes place in his home town.  I think Things Not Seen is considered science fiction because throughout the whole story, Bobby is trying to figure out a scientific reason for him becoming invisible. He calls factories, researches online, and asks around about why and how this has happened to him.  I recommend this book to all ages and both boys and girls. It was thrilling, mysterious, and full of twists and turns. I loved the style of Clements descriptive imagery and the way he knew how to grab the readers attention.
