Now You See It... by Vivian Vande Velde Buy book: $11.40
When her new glasses break, Wendy is all too happy to wear the dorky pair of sunglasses she finds on her lawn. They seem to match her prescription, but the glasses soon correct her vision "too" much as she begins to see such things as cheerful corpses and portals to other worlds.
wow, what a funny sense of humour along with a great writing style this author has. this book sounds like its gonna be a good one,have to read more though before taking it out.
Even though this book is in the "teen" category, and I'm way past the teen years, I am enjoying this first installment a great deal. I love the writing and can't wait until Wendy finds the "dorky" sunglasses.
I am enjoying this book too. Just wish each bit was longer as I want the story to get going! Main character is really likable. Looking forward to tomorrow's bit.
I love any story that has a sarcastic, main charecter. She's really funny. I think that I'm going to like this story a lot more than the story from last week.
I've always liked Vivian Velde and Now You See It is, in my opinion, her best one yet. The first sentence not only grabs a person's attention but the main charactors way of looking at life makes people want to read more right away. I ordered it from Amazon monday in between reading the first and second paragraph.
Thanks for the suggestion Anne, I'll be sure and look into it. :)
Yeah, I ordered the book after I read the first paragraph. I probably shouldn't just jump into buying a book after only reading a little section, not only a chapter long, but I just have a good feeling about this book. I can't wait until it gets here. :)
I am enjoying this read so much that I bought the book today. While my son (15) was waiting for me in the car he picked it up and started reading. He only read the first few pages but he thought it was VERY good.
My mom printed these out this week for me. I am really enjoying this book. I have already got it coming from the Library so I get to finish it. I have read Ms Van Velde before but like this the best so far.
I'm definintly checking this book out!! This is my type of book! Right now I'm reading a book by Meg Cabot from the Mediator series, Meg Cabot is my fav author!
There is a movie called "Now You See It" but it is totally different than this story.
Last week I got emails about this book and read up to page 21. It's really good! The only problem is I doubt it's available in the library since I know I'm not the only one in North Carolina who's getting these emails.
I'm 16 (Honors student) and feel I'm a little too old for young adult teen novels.
