One day Bobby Phillips wakes up and looks in the mirror. But he's not there. He is invisible. His parents tell him not to tell anybody and they say he is sick with the flu and can't go to school. But then his parents get in a car crash. Bobby decides he is going to go out in public. He bundles up and goes to the library, but at the library he takes off all his clothes so nobody can see a bunch of floating clothes and walks around naked and invisible. Then he meets a blind girl called Alicia who can't see him and therefore doesn't know he's invisible. They become friends and eventually Bobby tells Alicia he's invisible. She's mad, but when she asks a passing policeman if she or Bobby is taller, he can't see Bobby.When his parents recover from the terrible crash, a commitee member comes and says that she can get a permit to search the Phillips household. Bobby needs to become visible again--fast. Then he discovers a piece of information that could help a lot. What will happen?
This book is really good but definitely not realistic. It is kind of complicated with all the invisibleness and keeping it a secret, but it is really good. It is a really unusual thing that makes Bobby invisible, and his Dad is a scientist so there might be some complicated things the dad talks about, like forcefields of electricity. Also, this book is more serious than other Andrew Clements books.
You might like this book if you like science-y or suspenseful books.
