Have you ever felt like you were invisible?

Like you could go right up to someone and wave your hands in their face without them seeing a thing? Or walk through a crowded room without a single person noticing?

Me too.

For me though, it wasn’t just a feeling.


It all looks so simple in the movies: get superpowers, save the world. But for Maddie Sykes, the power to become invisible seems to cause more problems than it solves. Finding herself unable to share her secret with her friends and family, Maddie struggles to find the right path on her own. Is she destined to be a superhero, a villain, or something else?

With the stakes rising both at home and at school, Maddie has to confront the truth about her powers and the dark secrets behind them or risk losing everything.

A teen / young adult story for anyone who’s ever felt invisible, perfect for fans of The Hunger Games, Stargirl, and Five Feet Apart.
