Okay everyone! This is the second review transferred from my book vlog! It was a summer reading assignment for school that I had put off for the longest and read the book and filled out the packet for it on the plane ride home from my vacation. Personally, I don't like school assigned books, I don't like that I am being forced to read a novel I had no interest in reading at the time.
Anyways, all I remember from this is that the main character becomes invisible and it is a big problem for him. Now I have not much more to say, so let's allow 13-year-old me take it away!

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. For Bobby that means no school, no friends, no life. He's a missing person. Then he meets Alicia. She's blind, and Bobby can't resist talking to her, trusting her. But people are starting to wonder where Bobby is. Bobby knows that his invisibility could have dangerous consequences for his family and that time is running out. He has to find out how to be seen again before it's too late.
Basically this book is about a kid named Bobby who wakes up one morning, becomes invisible. He... he tells his mom and his dad, who are both professors at his school and --- they tell him not to go out. So, he sneaks out of the house, like bundles up a lot of clothes on himself so that they can't see him --- so nobody can see him and he... goes to the library. There he meets Alicia. But... they actually ran into each other, literally. And they didn't actually know each other... So then, when he came home, his mom was frantic... and later on, like I think the next day, his parents get in a car accident. He goes to the hospital. He gets a cab, goes to the hospital, meet his parents... and while they are still out --- she --- they have to make up a lie that Bobby is with his Aunt Ethel... that's in Florida. Well... his Aunt Ethel is actually in Florida but they said that she came over to take care of him... So that they won't get in trouble.
Anyway, when he goes to the library again that day, he meets Alicia. And when he walks her home, I think it was that day, or it was the next day... she finds out that he's invisible. Like seriously, all naked and stuff all invisible and well... she tells her parents. Alicia --- and like the parents... both of --- the both set of parents get together to find a way to turn Bobby back so that he is visible again. But then school, that he went to, was getting suspicious since Bobby's been out for so long and... they send -- they call reinforcements to get them to Bobby's house so that they can see if he's alright. Bobby's mom, Mrs. Phillips, makes up a lie and says that Bobby went over to Florida with Aunt Ethel. Then, five days --- they had like five days until they had like Ms. Pagett (?) this... I forget what she is, it had something to do with children...
She was... the officer of the state department of children and family services. She had connections --- there was a department back where Florida is so she --- since Mrs. Phillips lied and said Bobby was in Florida since he was sick and needed better care with his Aunt Ethel. And they left them alone for like five days. They came back like five days later and they --- and then she makes up another lie that says that Aunt Ethel took Bobby to Atlanta. Anyway... they start getting clues and hints about how Bobby turned invisible. I will not tell you how he turned invisible or how to turn him back, I don't want to spoil the story for you guys...
Five days later... she came --- Ms. Pagett came and --- then they find out what caused him to become invisible. There's this whole like little investigation, like criminal thing that Bobby does with Alicia so that they can find out more things. And Bobby, then, finds that there was an --- found another person who was invisible named Sheila... Sheila... and she was invisible for the past about three years and he got in contact with her... and stuff so... Anyway, after that day Alicia found out something and they thought that maybe reversing the effect... like what Bobby did, they will --- they'll do it again so that he will become visible again and it worked so the next day Ms. Pagett came... everything... he's naked in his room... people can see him... he's embarrassed because he thought he was still invisible so he had to cover himself up and --- He's visible again and he tells Sheila, who doesn't want to become visible, he --- she's used to being invisible, like for the last three years. She doesn't want to become visible again, which... I still do't know why...
Anyway... he becomes visible again and all that, so... happy ending... in the end, there's this letter --- email that Alicia sent to Bobby telling him her feelings for him and in the end it's like a kind of cliffhanger ending ... she --- the ending is like kind of a cliffhanger... it's like this: "I need to tell her how much I love --- how much I love her poem and I need to be there to see her face when I tell her." So it's like kind of cliffhanger... he's in love with Alicia so yeah, it's kind of like that he's going to her and telling him that he loves her --- telling her that he loves her. So that's probably about it for Things Not Seen.
7.5/10

Nice to know that this was a spoiler-free review because even after all these years, I have no recollection of how Bobby became visible again. I'll only know if I reread the book again... So there you have it! My second book review of all time transcribed now! Hope you guys enjoyed the ramblings and blunders of a young'un me and will come back next week!
