Written in free verse poetry, An Invisible Girl poignantly reflects the feelings and concerns associated with a fifteen-turning-sixteen-year-old girl-worries of acceptance, wavering self-confidence, the power of family and friendship, the joy of a first kiss. However, an underlying tragedy pushes hopes and wishes aside, leaving a stark and haunting realization of the fragility of life.
