Now, I recently said that I wouldn't become a science fiction fan. That's the truth. I accidentally got hooked on this series. After the previous 2 books I read, I was ready for something light (enough with the heartbreak and Holocaust, already). I went to my trusty bookshelf and this was the only young adult book there that I hadn't read.
Bobby is an 11 year old living in Chicago (holler). One day he wakes to realize that he is invisible. In the ensuing weeks, Bobby and his physicist father attempt to figure out why this happened and how to reverse the condition. Clever and realistic storylines unravel, including Bobby meeting a blind girl at the University of Chicago library.
I read Things Not Seen in one day, and immediately bought Things Hoped For online, eagerly awaiting its' arrival.
The second book revolves around Gwendolyn Page, a teenage violinist in New York City vigorously preparing for her Julliard audition. Bobby, now 17-year-old Robert, is visiting New York, for his trumpet auditions. The two unexpectedly run into one another and form a fast friendship.
Super light, super cute and just what I needed. Now I wait for Things That Are.
