Things Not Seen: Bio-Poem

Bobby Phillips
Confused, Anxious, Audacious, Clever.
A character in Andrew Clement's story.
Lover of the playing the trumpet, listening to jazz music, and reading classic literature.
Who notices being invisible is not so different from being blind, the city of Chicago is a lot colder when you're walking the streets naked, and his parents are much different after a near death experience.
Who feels a newfound love for Alicia, a newfound joy for the fact that he can begin sharing his secret, and a newfound fear that his parents could be arrested and he could be taken by child services.
Who learns from history class how to be a Greek Warrior, and from Alicia how it is possible to live life with a "disability."
Who used to think being invisible for a couple weeks would not do him any harm, but now knows the authorities are looking for him and after his family.
Major character in Things Not Seen
A book that keeps you on the edge of your seat.
A book about an invisible boy.
