*This novel was supposed to be released in June of 2020, but has been delayed until September 8th of 2020. I think many titles are being pushed back because of Coronavirus. A member of #bookexpedition shared and mailed the book to me.

What I Thought Of It - Five Observations/Reflections:
1. *I'm not sure how to classify the story: fiction, fantasy, adventure, mystery? Maybe a little of each.
2. *I enjoyed the story and thought Nadia was a strong, independent, and unique character.
3. *The mystery that surrounded "invisible boy" kept me interested, engaged, and turning the pages faster and faster.
4. *I must say the cover and book blurb did not convey the seriousness and revelations that were uncovered throughout the story.
5. *The author did a fantastic job of portraying a difficult subject matter in a very kid friendly way.
Who Should Read It:
*Readers in grades five and/or six would be perfect for the 300-page novel. They would be interested in the characters, story line, and be able to handle the seriousness of the content. I would also recommend the book for middle-school students. Happy Reading!
