false <![CDATA[The Opposite of Invisible]]> 2424780 6 Alice and Jewel have been best friends since grade school. Together, they don't need anyone else, and together they blend into the background of high school. Invisible. To Alice, Jewel is the opposite of invisible. Jewel is her best friend who goes to Indie concerts and art shows with her. Jewel scoffs at school dances with her. Alice is so comfortable around Jewel that she can talk to him about almost anything. But she can't tell him that she likes the cool, popular Simon. And then Simon asks her to the school dance the same day that Jewel kisses her for the first time. Still, she can't say no to Simon. He seems like the easy choice, the one she's attracted to, the one she's ready for. But will it mean losing Jewel? In a bright debut novel set against the lively backdrop of Seattle, Alice must learn the difference between love and a crush, and what it means to be yourself when you're not sure who that is yet. 2431967 8 1 2008 The Opposite of Invisible total:204|5:33|4:74|3:73|2:21|1:3| 204 725 345 62 3 2 false false Wed Feb 06 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Feb 06 22:37:49 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 08 10:24:49 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Mon Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Dec 11 10:50:33 -0800 2008 Thu Dec 11 10:54:51 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu Jun 04 00:17:53 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 04 00:18:15 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Feb 10 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 29 14:05:34 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 10 09:03:25 -0800 2009 1
