Chapters 1 and 2 Summary

Bobby Phillips, a 15-year-old teen wakes up one morning to find that he is invisible. He can't see himself in the mirror and his parents cannot see him either. He can touch things, make things move and even eat his breakfast, but he is invisible to everyone, even himself. His parents and Bobby agree that they have to keep this issue quiet until they can figure out what to do.

When Bobby returns to his room after breakfast, he turns on his desk lamp. Bobby notices that his hand makes a shadow on his desk as he moves it under the light. Bobby's father walks in to Bobby's room and notices the shadow of Bobby's hand under the light as well. This indicates that Bobby is not entirely invisible, but not entirely visible to the normal eye either.
