Gr 7 Up-This novel begins where Invisible I (HarperTeen, 2009) left off. Earlier events are alluded to, and some are explained, but it's best to have read the first title. Invisible was narrated by Callie; now Hal picks up the story. They are two of the three students implicated in Amanda's disappearance by Vice Principal Thornhill, who was attacked in his office and is in a coma. Amanda is still missing, yet she seems to know what the three are up to. Hal, Nia, and Callie have launched a website called The Amanda Project, and people are posting Amanda sightings and clues, but they don't add up to anything substantial. The interactive website contains profiles, quizzes, and a teacher/librarian kit for downloading. Readers who register may contribute clues, art, and playlist suggestions. Teens will rapidly turn the pages of this tautly written mystery to reach an ending that leaves fans panting for the third installment.-Brenda Kahn, Tenakill Middle School, Closter, NJ
