Amanda Zieba Learning with the Word Nerd | Things Not Seen First Chapter Friday Read Aloud Video with the Word Nerd @AmandaZiebatheWordNerd | Uploaded September 2024 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
Friday, August 16, 2024 - In this week’s First Chapter Friday video the word nerd Amanda Zieba reads aloud chapter 1 of Things Not Seen by Andrew Clements. If you have ever wished to be invisible, read this book to find out what that might really be like! Spoiler alert… its a lot more trouble than you might imagine and it’s totally what happens to the main character in this book. This is the first book in a series of 3. Make sure you stay through the whole video so you can discover the secret book quote hidden throughout… one word at a time, like a literary treasure hunt.
Blurb: Bobby Phillips is an average fifteen-year-old-boy. Until the morning he wakes up and can't see himself in the mirror. Not blind, not dreaming-Bobby is just plain invisible. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to Bobby's new condition; even his dad the physicist can't figure it out. For Bobby that means no school, no friends, no life. He's a missing person. Then he meets Alicia. She's blind, and Bobby can't resist talking to her, trusting her. But people are starting to wonder where Bobby is. Bobby knows that his invisibility could have dangerous consequences for his family and that time is running out. He has to find out how to be seen again-before it's too late. Winner of American Library Association Schneider Family Book Award!
