  <default_description>Alicia may be blind, but that doesn't mean she can't see what's happening right in front of her eyes. Like how her parents try to give her freedom. Or how Bobby, now Robert, has returned to figure out their relationship. Or even the invisible man, William, and just how dangerous he is to Alicia, to Robert, to their whole family, or so the police say. Or is Alicia wrong this time? If her normally sharp instincts are wrong, the results could be disastrous. &lt;p&gt;From award-winning author Andrew Clements, here is a novel full of adventure, romance, and mystery, which at its heart is about trusting, even things we know but cannot see.</default_description>
