    I think the first three chapters were really exciting, especially Bobby’s escape to the library. “Nice shades, dude!” HAHA. Also, I think the computer girl should take computer lessons.

    This book is great, and Andrew Clements has written a good book.

    I think the charactars are pretty cool because the mom is funny because she’s overacting it’s funny.The dad is like the mom is really funny to he’s also pretty cool I think because he make’s breafest and I thought girls did that.Bobby is just lucky to be invisable because he could do pranks on people.

    I think that Bobby will become diseased from touching things that aren’t clean!

    The mom is very freaky when she freaked out, and the dad is a science freak.

    What I really like about this novel so far is the details that Andrew Clements puts in about all of the charaters. Bobby, his parents, Walt, and the blind girl have been introduced. I really don’t like the parents, because the Mom is making a giant deal of it and the Dad thinks its a experiment. I was really surprized by the humour. I think the next thing that will happen that other not blind people will see Bobby.

    It’s funny how he’s a science freak.

    I love this book alot! It has a vivid images. So far there are a few charecters: Bobby’s mom and dad, Bobby, and a blind girl. I thought when he went into the libary, mischeif was sure to happen. But surprizingly, he avoided any trouble. Until he bumped into a girl and his scarf fell off. He is lucky that she was blind.

    AWESOME!!!!! This book is amazing! How does somebody just magically turn invisible? I think that Bobby will befriend the blind girl he bumped into. I love how odd and mysterious this book. Andrew Clements has really outdone himself!!!!!

    The part where he went to the library sort-of suprised me because I thought he would either watch T.V. or read a book and not leave the house.

    Wow!!!!!! Thats an awesome book because I think it has good detail and is so imaginative just like me. LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I think this book was very interesting and the first three chapters blew my mind because i think bobby could take atvantage of his powers. ” Nice shades, dude” Is hilarious. I think this book is a high level book and i can’t wait to read more!

    I think that the charaters are awsome. My favroite part was the time the girl backed up on Bobby big toe, that was so funny. but the best part for me was when Bobby crashed into the blind gril because that might be the only friend he would get. the thing that really saprized me was that he turned invisable, well I mean that you don’t just wake up inviable right. THE END

    So far,thisook is awesome. Plus it was my 1st pick! My favorite character is Bobby. I like this novel because its got awesome details. I can almost be in the actual story!

  16. By: Halie on November 17, 2009 at 10:22 am      

    LOL, “Nice shades, dude”.

    Bobby knew the risks of going out, but he did, and he got a stubbed toe for being too helpful. Muahaha, that girl should have computer lessons.

    In the first three chapters i really enjoyed it when bobby loked in the mirrior twice before he realized that he was invisable. it was very funny when he walks down the stair with a floating towel.
    i met bobbys parents and a blind girl.

  18. By: Sarah on November 17, 2009 at 5:21 pm      

    I totally agree with Gracie. This book is really awesome! ”Nice shades, dude.” LOL ROTFL! Remember it’s the middle of winter when that happened!

    I thought that the book good so far. the charecters that i met were boby,his parents and a blind girl. I think that bobby is veryhumarous because of what he did in the first chapter. His parents are scary.his dad a science nerd and his mom is scary because she freaks out alot. the blind girl is very nice and i think bobby and her will have a good relationship. my prediction is that bobby,s parents are going to be able to hold the secret and just going to burst out tell everyone that their son bobby is invisible

  20. By: Sarah on November 18, 2009 at 5:21 pm      

    Adu you’re right about the relationship thing with Bobby and the blind girl. Actully on the back it says the girl’s name is Alicia and she does know Bobby is invisible.

  21. By: Halie on November 18, 2009 at 5:59 pm      

    Alsooooooooooo, Alicia might freak out when she figures out Bobby is invisible…well, if you read the front page, she did freak out XD

  22. By: Lea on November 18, 2009 at 6:32 pm      

    I think the mom is OVERREACTING! It’s sort-of annoying. I like the part where he says “so now that I’m invisible I need permission to go to the bathroom?”. At first I didn’t think this book would be humorous!
