Synopsis 15-year old Bobby Phillips is a normal boy living in Chicago, until the morning of February 23 when he wakes up and can’t see himself in the mirror. But he isn’t dreaming. He is invisible. He can’t tell anyone but his parents until he meets a blind girl named Alicia. Bobby tells her and her parents, but they keep it quiet and help figure out how Bobby can get back to normal again. The State Department of Children and Family Services begin to wonder where Bobby is. They give Mr. and Mrs. Phillips 5 days to confirm Bobby’s whereabouts, otherwise they will be arrested. Will anyone figure out how to cure Bobby before it’s too late?

Interesting story idea. I enjoyed it.
