Invisible Girl is one of those books that gets you so caught up in it, that you don't want to put it down. I would recommend it to readers, maybe 11-16. It is very well written, and pretty realistic.
When I read books where the climaxes seem small, fake, or planned, the book disinterests me. It is as if the author wants the main character's life to be as close to perfect as possible, and that isn't real. You can already tell that there will be a good outcome. Sometimes you'll even be able to tell WHAT will happen.
There are people who like to read fairytales, but even in fairytales there are real troubles. Like in Cinderella. If you're reading Cinderella for the first time, you will be indignant for hoew Cinderella is treated by her step-sisters and stepmother. You'll be happy when she gets her dress; you'll be anxious when she dances with the prince and has to leave before midnight. You'll probably find it a little strange that Cinderella is the only one in the kingdom who wears a size 5 1/2, and no one really ever gets a happily ever after, but those parts are what makes a fairy tale a fairy tale.
An unrealistic and un-relatable to fairytale is sleeping beauty, which passes off to most young girls that you'll get to marry the prince if you're pretty enough, since the prince really didn't know sleeping beauty at all.
I like books that make you unsure about the ending or what's going to happen next. That's What Makes A Book Interesting. When you have some idea of what's going to happen, then reading the book becomes pointless.
Invisible Girl not only has a good storyline, but it has you all over the place just like real life does.
In the book, 14-year-old Stephanie's abusive mom leaves her and her dad. Her dad needs to fix some things, so he sends her to live with her rich uncle and his family.
When she starts hanging out with her cousin Annie and her friends, she realizes how far behind them she is socially. Stephanie's clothes are out of style, her mom used to be a bartender, and still passes out drunk most nights; Stephanie still hasn't gone through puberty yet, and she doesn't have Facebook, or friends, and so she spins a web of lies just to fit in.
And when Annie finds out, well... that's where things get interesting. One thing I absolutely like about this book is that Stephanie ends up driving Annie crazy.
It's always fun to see the underdog drive the mean girl crazy. - Khallori
