Alice Sun is a bright, driven, caring, funny, but often clueless teenager who's often really hard on herself. Oh yeah, and she can make herself disappear, literally. So when she learns her parents can no longer afford tuition at her elite school, she enlists the help of her mortal enemy, Henry Li, to capitalize on this newfound superpower. They've competed for the top spot in school for years. Henry is the only thing holding Alice back from being the top student in school. But he's so smart and talented, she needs his help, and they will have to learn to work together to make this succeed.
Things will go awry when you have the power to go invisible, and you have teenagers paying for a "ghost" to help them out. Alice walks the line through morality in this tale that explores class differences. Henry seems like he would be the needle on the compass, which isn't always the case. Though the story was a bit hard for me to get into, once it found its groove, it turned into a super cute, one-sided enemies to more story. I would have liked to see more behind this superpower and more from Henry and Chanel. We only touched the surface of Chanel, and I feel like there's more in store for her. This could be the start of a series involving this trio. Thank you, Inkyard Press, for sending along a lovely hardcover of this book.
