She Is Not Invisible by Marcus SedgwickMy rating: 3.5 of 5 stars
A quick read for me, as I read this in just a few hours. A young adult book with a blind 16 year old who takes her younger brother with her to New York City from their London house to find their missing father. He's a writer on a research trip in Switzerland but there was an email from someone who found his notebook of ideas in NYC. Mom is off to see her sister and couldn't be bothered, so impulsively Laureth goes to retrieve the notebook and find Dad.
It was refreshing to have someone blind as the main character and learning about her and how she gets around. BUT there's a bit too much of the author's maneuvering in the book, talking about coincidences and the number 354 that overall hurt the story line.
