THINGS NOT SEEN by Andrew Clements

Hello citizens of Stamford, CT. I am here to bring another novel by the wonderful Andrew Clements to your attention! The novel that I’m reviewing is Things Not Seen. I would most definitely recommend that anyone into weird, sci-fi type novels consider reading this book. The main character in this story is Bobby Phillips. On February 24 he awakes and trudges into the bathroom to take a shower. He looks into the mirror and doesn’t see anything; somehow he’s invisible. Will Bobby find out what has caused his invisibility with the help of his new, blind friend Alicia, her father, his father and the hope of their families? My favorite part was when the CPA burst into Bobby’s room. Mrs. Phillips lied and said that he was sick and would be back in a week or so. This story reminds me of Walk Two Moons by: Sharon Creech. In one part it began to tell the story of Pandora’s Box and how she opened the box and all of the world’s hatred and diseases was released. Sal quoted, “That may be at the bottom of the box there might be a little speck of hope.” Maybe after all that has happened, things might start to go right.
