Summary

Winner of American Library Association Schneider Family Book Award!

Bobby Phillips is an average fifteen-year-old-boy. Until the morning he wakes up and can’t see himself in the mirror. Not blind, not dreaming—Bobby is just plain invisible. There doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to Bobby’s new condition; even his dad the physicist can’t figure it out.

What They're Saying

Critics Review

“A readable, thought-provoking tour de force, alive with stimulating ideas, hard choices, and young people discovering bright possibilities ahead. ”-Kirkus Reviews“Written in a more serious tone than Clements’s popular Frindle (Simon & Schuster, 1996), this novel will prove thought-provoking as it asks the reader to consider all the “things not seen.”–VOYA“Clements’s story is full of life; it’s poignant, funny, scary, and seemingly all too possible. The author successfully blends reality with fantasy in a tale that keeps his audience in suspense until the very end.”–School Library Journal
