Plenty of teenagers feel invisible. Fiona McClean actually is.
An
invisible girl is a priceless weapon. Fiona’s own father has been
forcing her to do his dirty work for years—everything from spying on
people to stealing cars to breaking into bank vaults.
After
sixteen years, Fiona’s had enough. She and her mother flee to a small
town, and for the first time in her life, Fiona feels like a normal life
is within reach. But Fiona’s father isn’t giving up that easily.
Of course, he should know better than anyone: never underestimate an invisible girl.
First line:
"I nearly died the second I was born."
Pitched as Godfather meets X-Men is a pretty good assessment. There is a mafia and there are people with special powers.
And a story about an invisible girl? Cool. Poor Fiona is a teen and invisible. Literally, invisible. I enjoyed reading her storyline and how she changed and grew as a person.
I liked the neighbors! And Seth.
I hoped for more reconciliation between Fiona and her mom. And maybe a little more scenes with her dad.
A quick, fun story with a cast of interesting characters. Ms. Whipple has debuted a great book. Keep 'em coming, Natalie!
