She Is Not Invisible by Marcus Sedgwick

1.0

I have to be completely honest and state that I did not finish this book. After reading over 100 pages into She Is No Invisible, I had to put the book down and walk away. A 16 year old girl and her little brother fly across an ocean in search of their "missing" father. I do not remember exactly where Laureth and her brother are from but I do remember it is somewhere in Europe. I am an American from the Midwest, so I am not too familiar with many European countries, but I am sure that they have some sort of Emergency Number that Laureth should have called when she started to think that her father was missing. Perhaps something similar to our 9-1-1 Emergency System? I am not sure how they do things over in Europe, but in America, children are taught from a very early age that if you or someone around you is hurt or in harms way, you should pick up the nearest phone and alert the proper authorities as to what is going on.
As I read along in She Is Not Invisible, I kept thinking about the TV Show Dora the Explorer. Every time I see that TV Show, it makes me wonder where in the world are her parents and why is no one watching out for her. Young children should not be traipsing around the country side looking for things (or people for that matter!)
