Nevertheless, throughout her restoration, Mickey is shocked to seek out that she now has the flexibility to grow to be invisible. Instantly Titus sees her as his subsequent marketable alternative to tug the circus out of monetary difficulties.
The weird circus setting supplies background for this story, which I appreciated. Whereas the concept of invisibility was good, I’d have appreciated extra emphasis on the hyperlink to the meteor strike to make the invisibility actually plausible.
Mickey is a teen with erratic moods, poor communication expertise and accidents from the meteor strike. She’s had loads of latest hardships, however I discovered all her teen angst overpowering because the story progressed. Utilizing Mickey’s invisibility within the circus ring was enjoyable, I’d have loved a couple of extra descriptions of her act to make picturing it simpler in my thoughts.
There are a few thriller sub-themes which I imagine will proceed to be solved within the subsequent ebook. There have been additionally some good secondary characters, significantly Eve and Chewy.
Total setting and story thought which I believed might have been tweaked to be sure that each scene helped transfer the story ahead and that vital components shone by means of.
