The Translucent Boy and the Girl Who Saw Him by Tom Hoffman is such a creative book! A great middle grade book but like Harry Potter, this book will make fans out of all age groups. This is a strange world to begin with and it just gets stranger. A woman uses a special formula with a warning on it, a perfume. It causes her son it be translucent but not invisible. A girl can see auras. They meet and become friends. Then, they meet a very strange fellow they told them about traveling to other worlds. It is an interesting, exciting, very clever book with lots that keeps the pages turning! I can see this being the next big hit with enough exposure! Terrific book! (
