Title: Transparent
Author: Natalie Whipple
Release Date: May 21, 2013
Publisher: HarperTeen
From Goodreads:
X-Men meets The Godfather; in which an invisible girl has to stop her dad—an infamous crime lord—from ruining her life.
On
the run from her mind-controlling father, the infamously invisible
Fiona McClean hides in a small town, hoping to finally rid herself of
the crime world she has always known. But playing at “normal life” with a
mother she hates, a brother she can’t trust, and a boy she can’t stand
proves more difficult than she ever imagined. Soon her father is hot on
her heels, and it’s up to Fiona to protect not only her family, but the
friends who’ve taught her that life doesn’t have to be as lonely and
cruel as she thought.
Darn books that make me want them so much just from the summary. After Holly Black's White Cat series, I've been wanting another mobster-related story. This sounds pretty interesting, I'll definitely have to keep an eye out for it next year. :)
