A week to find a way back

High-schooler Ana’s sense of being overlooked becomes literal after she takes an invisibility pill to escape the masked men who abduct her best friend, Isaac. The formula brings a deadline: she needs to find him and an antidote within a week, while the kidnappers begin pursuing her too. Clues Isaac leaves behind include an unexpected love letter, and Ana’s former crush, rookie cop Ben, offers a possible source of help—if she breaks her promise to keep the pill secret. The book combines a missing-person search and a speculative conceit with a choice about trust, secrecy, and what Ana is willing to reveal. It is the first installment in the Wish Trilogy.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young adult readers interested in suspense and romance
  • Readers drawn to stories about invisibility, secrets, and a search for a missing friend
  • Readers looking for the first book in a series

Book overview

"This thrilling roller coaster of a story has more plot twists than a pretzel. Once you start, you won't be able to stop until you've devoured every last page."-KJ Fieler, author of Shadow Runner

Ana feels invisible in high school-that is, until she literally turns invisible. When masked men come for her genius best friend, Isaac, she swallows the invisibility pill he gives her and avoids being kidnapped alongside him. Though Ana escapes, she must find Isaac for an antidote within one week. If she doesn't, she'll remain invisible forever, which could mean insanity and death.

To make matters worse, the kidnappers are after her next. If they can't get what they want from Isaac, they'll extract the invisibility formula from her veins.

Desperately searching for clues, Ana finds hidden messages from Isaac, including a love letter she never saw coming. Her feelings are further muddled when rookie cop Ben, her former crush, comes looking for her, believing she's responsible for Isaac's disappearance. Though Isaac swore her to secrecy about the invisibility pill, Ana's time is running short. She must decide whether or not to get Ben's help by telling him the truth, even if it means betraying Isaac's trust.
