The Invisible Man...
The Invisible Man is a sience-fiction book that we are going to read in our English classes. It was published in 1952 and the author is H. G. Wells. H. G. Wells "invented" science- fiction and he wrote many famous books such as The Time Machine and War of the Worlds. The Invisible Man is basically about a scientist who discoveres how to become invisible and tests it on himself. But then his problem is that he doesn't know how to become visible again... SCARY!
I hope it'll be a good and interesting book...!
Here is more information about the book and H. G. Wells:
