Retelling

Author’s Note: This is a retelling of the book Things Not Seen by Andrew Clements.  I wrote this to demonstrate my understanding of the reading skill “retelling."

A boy goes to sleep one night after wishing that he could disappear because he is bullied at school. The next morning he wakes up and is invisible, but everyone he talks to thinks that he is just crying wolf. He meets a blind girl at the library and she helps him become visible again, and helps him realize that his life isn’t so bad.
