From the bestselling author of Things Not Seen comes a beautiful novel about learning to trust the things we know but cannot see.
Alicia’s total blindness is a harsh fact. But she still sees what’s going on. She sees how her parents want her to be independent, but can’t quite let go. She sees Bobby edging closer, sees their relationship approaching new territory.
And she sees William, at first just another invisible form, a voice. Except William is invisible to everyone, not just Alicia. And his demands are a threat to her, to Bobby, to both their families. Perhaps even a threat to global security. That’s what the FBI thinks. But is he? And is Alicia’s instinct to trust this man wrong—dangerously, disastrously wrong?
ANDREW CLEMENTS (1949–2019) was a New York Times bestselling author whose beloved modern classic Frindle has sold over six million copies, won nineteen state awards (and been nominated for thirty-eight!), and been translated into over a dozen languages. Before writing Frindle, Andrew worked as a public school teacher outside Chicago. Called the “master of school stories” by Kirkus Reviews, Andrew wrote over eighty acclaimed books for kids, including, most recently, The Friendship War and The Losers Club, which School Library Journal called “engaging and funny . . . a laugh-out-loud first purchase” in a starred review.
