What do they mean?LAURETH PEAK'S father has taught her to look for recurring events, patterns, and numbers - a skill at which she's remarkably talented. When he goes missing while researching coincidence for a new book, Laureth and her younger brother fly from London to New York and must unravel a series of cryptic messages to find him.

Reliant on her other senses and on her brother to survive, Laureth finds that rescuing her father will take all her skill at spotting the extraordinary, and sometimes dangerous, connections in a world full of darkness.

Before I get to anything else, it should be said that I thought this was really wonderful. But, with that having been said, I think She Is Not Invisible will be met with very contrasting opinions soon enough--and it already has, among friends of mine and myself--but knowing that makes me think it's even more wonderful. What I found absolutely fascinating about She Is Not Invisible, others will find boring, I'm sure. Much of the novel--namely the portions regarding Laureth's father's notebook andAlthough Im new to Marcus Sedgwicks work, I took one look at his previous ratings and award nominations and rushed to download She Is Not Invisible, confident I would enjoy it. It is, indeed, obvious that Sedgwick is an author of great talent in this book, his sentences appear to be liquid, blending together effortlessly in a prose piece of extraordinary beauty.But sometimes, even that isnt enough.This is not Sedgwicks first book written from a teen girls perspective. There is The Foreshadowing

She Is Not Invisible is a triumph of characterization, atmosphere, setting, suspense and dialogue. The only thing lacking, as we get into the meat of the narrative, is the plot itself. At 216 pages total, you spend the whole book trying to figure out whats really going on. When the reveal comes, youre like, Eh, thats all it is? None of this really even had to happen. Oh well, at least its over already. And, yeah, in instant hindsight, you can figure out why it all had to happen (view spoiler)
The Benjamin Effect is in operationCan you say sibling goal? Laureth & Benjamin (&Stan). How effing wonderful!Ive absolutely no idea how plausible this whole book really is but when its this fun , seriously, who cares?? Im not unhappy with the way I am, because I dont mind being blind. What I mind is people treating me as if Im stupid Laureths voice was so distinct, it kept me glued. She was so full of compassion and understanding, it was just totally impossible not to root for her and
( 3.5 ) I wasn't quite sure what to expect going into this. The blurb kind of made it sound like there was going to be a little bit of a thriller / mystical element to this book, but it seemed to be a little watered down. Hence the reason I've created a shelf called 'middle grade' as it seems to fit that category a little better than young adult. Having said that, it was a really cute story!What I Liked1. The way the blindness is handled. It's mentioned in the book, sure, but not in a way that
I am a big Marcus Sedgwick fan so expected a lot of this novel. Where it succeeds brilliantly is in giving us a real insight into what it must be like to be blind, so much so that you actually feel that sense of continually groping to find things other sighted people take for granted. The characterisation is excellent and Laureth and Benjamin very believable. Where the book is not so strong for me is in the notebooks of the father - as Jack Peak rightly points out, other people's coincidences
