Chronicle Concering Books She Is Not Invisible
The feeling that coincidences give us tells us they mean something... But what? 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. The complication: Laureth is blind. 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.Itemize Books During She Is Not Invisible

I honestly think that Marcus Sedgwick is one of the most underrated writers that I've ever read. His books often leave me feeling mesmerised long after I've left the final page behind. He doesn't care about trends or pleasing people. He delivers unique stories and interesting narratives - each of which is nothing like the last. He writes in different genres and isn't afraid to cross the lines of them and make you wonder exactly what you've let yourself in for. I have a lot of admiration forDNF at 50%.I tried. I really did. I struggled at lot with the beginning of the book but gave myself a goal of reaching at least 50% before giving up. Sometimes books have rough starts but develop into amazing stories. Unfortunatelly it wasn't the same with this book. I'm not really sure how to review because it's not a bad book, it just... isn't my kind of book. It has an interesting story but the narrative and the execution just didn't work for me.Laureth is a 16 year old whose father's
One final time I told myself I wasnt abducting my little brother.Thus begins Marcus Sedgwicks triumphant young adult novel She Is Not Invisible about sixteen-year-old Laureth Peak who abducts her seven-year-old brother, Benjamin, and goes on a thrilling adventure from Manchester, UK to New York in search of their missing father.Jack Peak was a famous novelist back when he wrote funny books but for the last few years (most of Benjamins life in fact) Jack Peak has been working on a new book all
So I had an absolutely awesome time reading this and maybe it's not perfect but I DON'T EVEN CARE. It made me happy. I'm giving it 4-stars, but it should be 4.5 really.... It's about a blind girl and her little brother and comics and writers and 354 and missing fathers and prejudice against disabilities. It's amazing. It was so well written and so, so clever. For instance, the number 354 features really hugely in the book and do you know what page the book ends on? THAT'S RIHT: 354. How clever
3.5 StarsWhy is it that sometimes you forget just how much you love someone until theyre gone? Why are we so stupid? Shouldnt we always remember that the people we love are more important to us than anything else?This book doesnt mess around. We bump right into big questions and big trouble!Laureth Peak fears her father may be in danger, so she sets off to find him with her little brother, Benjamin. And Stan tooBenjamins stuffed animal raven. :) This is a cross the oceanfrom London to New
Actual rating: 2.5 starsAlthough I really loved Laureth, reading about another blind protagonist (it affects the narrative in such interesting ways!) and Ben (young child voices are another one of my faves!) I wasn't really that into the actual plot of finding the missing father by deciding to go to New York, just hoping he's there. The thriller part of this YA thriller wasn't grabbing my attention enough sadly.
The beauty of this book is that you truly get to experience Laureth's journey, with Laureth. Because of her blindness and first-person narration, you get to experience the world "through her eyes," and that's where Marcus is most excellent at his craft. Marcus is, simply put, a master storyteller! If he writes it, I will read it.
