She Is Not Invisible by Marcus Sedgwick
3.0
She Is Not Invisible is a fun, fast mystery about a blind girl, Laureth, whose father has gone missing and goes on a hunt to find him. To make matters worse, Laureth's mother seems disinterested in their father's disappearance, so 16-year-old Laureth runs away to the United States to find him, and she takes her 7-year old brother to help her. Laureth's father has spent many years writing a book about coincidences and researching the scientific theories behind coincidences, and he has shared what he has learned with his children. Laureth believes she can find her father using the clues that have been left behind before something really terrible happens to him.
This book was really fast paced, which I enjoyed. I also enjoyed trying to find all the hidden messages in the book while I was reading, and if I hadn't known about the hidden messages, I probably would have wanted to read the book again. (For more about the hidden messages, watch this video from the author: https://youtu.be/sJHVzk_vshg. For some more information but some slight spoilers, go here: http://imgur.com/gallery/rpkiw.)
Another plus to the book: I learned a lot while reading it, and it was fascinating. The only downside to the book was the ending seemed a too...easy? Not necessarily forced, but definitely not what I was expecting and I was a little disappointed. But overall, it was still a good book and it generated a lot of discussion in my teen book club.
