A review by hayleybeale
She Is Not Invisible by Marcus Sedgwick

4.0

I really loved the characters of Laureth and her brother, Benjamin (plus Stan) and I found for most of the book I was both thrilled by what they were taking on, and appalled by the risks that they were unknowingly taking. The notes about coincidences that are woven into the story are fascinating and I could imagine will appeal to many readers. I also thought that Mr. Walker was a great character (and deserves his own novel) and I found his last interaction with Laureth extraordinarily moving and insightful. I just felt the resolution to the mystery was a bit flat-footed and seemed to belong to a different book. There's definitely some tonal and thematic similarities with Meg Rosoff's 'Picture Me Gone'. Thanks to Netgalley for the review copy - but it meant I couldn't work out what the hidden message was. I noticed that this was actually published a while ago, so I should probably have read a published copy.
