YUK!!!!
An Electric Blanket! What! I couldn't get passed the science to even enjoy the relationships in this story. This book was one of the worst children's book I've read in a long time. Sad, Sad because A.C. is one of my very favorite authors. I use many of his books in my class room. This one I actually threw out!

YES! YES! YES!
When I first got this book and read the back i was not that enthusiastic about reading it. But now it is the night after I finished the book and I am devestated! I loved that book so stinking much! I love Bobby's sarcastic remarks, and the humor and romanc to the story. I'm hoping A.C. will make a sequil to it because I want more! This is a great book for teens.

The best book
It's the best thing I ever read, I think that you can learn how is important to appreciate every second of your life and how a part of the book sais: Not only look at the mirror to remember how you are and that's all. Just.. make me cry.

Perfect For Tweens
THis book tells the story of an 'invisable' boy who meets someone with an 'invisable' world. Together Bobby and Alicia cope with the blankness of the cr@ap and mysteries in life. And with hope and re-newed confidence they find a cure.

Really, really good.
This is by far the best book I have ever read. I stayed up all night reading it. The idea of invisibility seems really cool as a superpower, but if it's thrust upon you like in this book, it's not that great after all. I recommend it for anyone who likes to read, and I think it would be a good book for required school reading.

Cool story!
This is a wonderful novel about a kid who becomes invisible and must overcome himself and get to know a beautiful blind girl. I highly recommend it!

Try it out!
As a person I didn't really care for the book. I thought that he told us he was invisable too many times, but I laughed so hard sometimes it felt that my sides split open. I got through it pretty easy and most of my friends like it. So give it a try because even if you don't like the story line it's really funny. Take my word (or words) for it!

Great Book!
i read this book for summer reading, and i loved it! it taught me that, even though in the novel bobby was physically invisble, there are real teenagers out in the world that are truly forgotten and ignored. Bobby was a like-able character young children can easily look up to,

Great! A must-read for Mystery and Romance fans ages 10+!!
I loved this book. It was tottaly amazing. Although, there was mild curses and Bobby walks around naked, but I can understand that because he is invisible. I dont realy care, but I though I'd let curious parents know the down sides to the book. Anyway, throughout the book, I can feel a bond between me and the chararacters. A.C makes the characters in his stories so real, you can connect with them so much. It's a very good book if you're looking for humor, mystery, fiction, or romance books. It makes you wanting to keep reading more and more. Try and put this down once you start reading. I dare you. I read this is 2 days. =) ENJOY THE BOOK!

perfect for 10 and up though a few 8 and 9 year olds(mature and good readders) may also read it.
i loved the book soooooo much!!! It is super interesting. its soo good I am reading it a third time though i have not forgotten anything about the book. I first read it in 5 th grade. I give it 5 stars READ it!!!!

 
Things not seen is a perfect book.
it's a very good book about a kid that turns invisible one night and he finds a friend called alicia , they figure out the problem together and alicia is blind. It's a very nice book for everyone older than five.

Great for kids in middle school
I thought the book was very interesting, and I think older kids would really like it. It's a great story line and an easy read. I personally feel like my son (age 9) needs to wait a few more years before he reads it. I prefer for him to read books about kids around his age who are in the same stage of life as him. This will be a great read for him in a few years.

This book is for teens with a good imagination.
I love the book called, Things Not Seen by the author, Andrew Clement. The book tells a story of a young boy named Bobby Phillips who wakes up one morning and realises that there is something missing in his relefction, himself. READ THIS BOOK. (:

Great for all readers over about age 8. At 52, I loved it!
Some folks, seeing as we are all still strapped with the Puritanical Outlook, think that the "invisible nudity" in this story is a bit mature, shall we say, for the young reader. Pshaw! I say. Kids, read on; read books, especially banned books. Of the thousands of books I've read, nothing in thems comes close to the offensive messages shown routinely on TV or in video games...The value of the written word is without a doubt much more valuable to all of us than anything "screens" have to offer. Things Not Seen is an imaginative, positive, wonderful story of a teenage boy faced with a challange few of us will ever see. His response to that situation is admirable, and well worth reading about. Great Book! I wish it were longer!

 
Amazing
Amazing book, read it three times now, at 10, 12, and now 17. The ending still makes me sad. Fanominal book, reccomend it to anyone and everyone.

I see you, But you can't see me
I think its the second best book i have read so far. In my opinion, I think it is very interesting. it shows a lot of emotions and feelings. Its also very sad when the parents get in a car crash. I wish i was there in the part when bobby went home by himself .

Good book
i love the book it is romantic and an adventur and a mystery all in one book. The only thing that is not my favorite is that he has to go out in public naked but he is invisible so i can understand.

 
it was... nice
ive read things about invisible kids- and i like the message of resposibility written in Bobby, I do- but i really thought he would have more fun with it! REALLY he didnt even wonder in the girls bathroom, but then again, he sounds like a decent teenager, so never mind. he's really nice, and so is alicia- my favorite character in this book. Have u ever tried to go about your day blindfolded? let's just say my om misses her favorite vase... yeah... so she has so much courage and confidence, and.... COMMON SENSE! haha im out

BEST BOOK EVER!!!!!
This book is my favorite. There is only like 2 references to drugs (no detail in it). the only seual content is Booby really likes Alicia, a blind girl and wants to date her.
