This story is about a boy, a teenage boy with a thermal
blanket and likes showering in the dark so he doesn’t have to fully wake up.
Then one day he wakes up takes his shower in the dark and is about to brush his
teeth, but nothing is there! He rushes out of his bathroom into his bedroom to
expect himself in the mirror but all he sees is a floating towel no body, bobby
Phillips has turn completely invisible!
That is how this book kicks off one day out of the blue the
main character bobby turns not transparent but completely invisible, and at
first his parents don’t even believe him. But after a glass floated into the
air drained itself of all the orange juice it contained and set itself back
onto the kitchen table they weren’t left with many other options. But so luck
would have it (or maybe not depending on whom you were asking) Bobby’s parents
are both really smart, his father a scientist and his mother a college English
teacher. After a series of experiments and questions to try and figure out what
caused their son to turn invisible they both come to the verdict that bobby
should stay home until they all find out what has happened to him. But he get
stir crazy, so while his folks are out at work he goes to the library and
that’s where he meets Alicia.
Clements’s story is full of life; it’s poignant, funny,
scary, and seemingly all too possible. The author is a genius the way he
successfully blends reality with fiction in a story that holds his audience in
suspense until the very end. It’s a novel I would recommend to a lot of people
and it is a story I don’t mind reading again and again. Plus, now that I’m in
high school the story seems to make even more sense to me and now is super
relatable to me. Anybody who has gone through high school can understand this
novel but it is what you take from this that really is a true thing a beauty.
