Clements, Andrew Things That Are, 167 p. Philomel (Penguin), 2008.

MS - OPTIONAL
It's been two years since invisible Bobby met blind Alicia during his mysterious disappearance. Alicia is afraid that Bobby is drawing away from her, even before they had a chance to grow together. Her new seeing-eye dog has given her more freedom around the city, but she is still pretty insecure. Now Bobby is back in town, but someone else has come along with him - William, the still invisible man, who has brought danger along with him.
I didn't enjoy Alicia as a narrator as much as I did Bobby or Gwen from the second book. Alicia is much more insecure. But then again, I don't know anything about going blind, either. I doubt that this one will ever be as popular as the first.
