From School Library Journal
Grade 4-6-When Jennifer, 13, stumbles upon a magic spell that renders her invisible, she enlists the help of her twin sister, Maggie, and best friend, Samuel, in a quest to solve the mystery surrounding their father's disappearance. The young detectives join the girls' grandmother on a cruise to Greece where the girls hope to find their father, a pilot who vanished two years earlier, and whom they believe is being held captive. This riveting mystery is a definite page-turner, complete with engaging, interesting three-dimensional characters and some life-threatening moments created by very real villains. Maggie's methodical and cautious approach to situations is cleverly juxtaposed with Jennifer's carefree, adventurous behavior. Samuel is a conscientious, thoughtful friend whose own lack of familial unity makes his relationship with the two girls a very special one. Chapters blend nicely with one another, never faltering or losing momentum. Jennifer's invisibility acts as a catalyst, propelling the plot along. Dangling subplots may leave readers searching for a connection linking them to the ultimate story line, but young people will overlook these shortcomings, finding delight in the characters and the high suspense.
