things+not+seen

week 1 **Kyle Onderdonk Person A-** The main character of this book is Booby Philips. Bobby is your average 15 year old until one day he gets out of the shower and becomes invisible. There is no cause for why he became invisible. Since he is now invisible, he is faced with many challenges. For example, he has no friends, no life, and is now a missing person in the world. A character that is annoying to me is Bobby's Mom. In this book she is your typical mother who annoys her teenage son. She is very annoying. When Bobby becomes invisible she freaks out and starts to cry.

week 1 **Eric Wartsky Person D-** Throughout the course of the discussion, we talked about how the book was starting to explain the main of the story. The main part of the discussion was on how Bobby, the main protagonist, turned invisible just by taking a shower. It seemed like such an extraordinarily odd way to start out a story that makes the reader want to discover more. With the current information we have now, the backbone of the story still remains a mystery and will be exciting to read. We also figured out what everyone's favorite part of the story was. My favorite part of the story was when Bobby was tricking his parents after they didn't believe he was invisible by making a glass of orange juice float and scare his mom to death. Kyle's favorite part was when he snuck out to the library as his invisible self. Stephen's part was the same as mine. Matt was unable to attend the group meeting. The discussion showed that we don't know a lot about what is going on and should know more information by next week.

Matthew Dougherty sumerizer **Week 2** Today in our book club we discussed what it would be like to be invisible. We also discussed our favorite parts. Some of our opinions on the book and about what we read were it must stink to be this boy because he pretty much just disappeared and no on but his parents can find him. We also talked about the relation between Alicia. How they meet each other. What it was like form them because one of them is invisible. At the same time, Bobby and Alicia have grown fonder of each other and have made an interesting relationship. One of them is blind, and one of them is invisible. This aspect of the story seems to be the calmness that takes place on the sideline of the increasingly growing situation of the search for Bobby. The mix of these two moods balances out the book.

**Stephen Bart** Week 5 A.
The book was a interesting and love story. I would recommend, it’s a good read for our age. This topic hasn’t been talked about that much. This book has a story and would be a nice book to read in school.

“Forget you ever found me. Forget my name. Forget we ever talked. Don’t tell anyone about me, don’t ever call me again.” “You rat! Really?! You did it, with the blanket? And you…and it worked? “She’s the best audience. It’s so much fun to see her face as she pictures everything I describe.” “ I hear her footsteps across the tile in the entry hall, and then she stomps up the front stairs. A distance door slams shut.” “ I need to tell her how much I love… how much I love her poem. And I need to be there to see her face when I tell her.”
