She faces discrimination in her school and her family’s retail business is plagued by an organized crime family that collects “insurance,” often brutally. Roni’s always been extraordinarily good at hiding, first in hide-and-seek as a child and later to avoid embarrassment. Now, older, she and her brother begin to realize that what she actually has is a form of telepathy. She can’t read other people’s minds, or speak to them silently, or force her thoughts on theirs. All she can do is make other people “not notice” her. At first being able to become invisible seems like a great way to hide from or avoid her old boyfriend, but she slowly begins to realize that it will let her do so much more. She even begins to wonder if she might be able to do something about the mob family that’s been holding her city in its thrall. less

In the first story we learned how she’s able to make herself invisible by telepathically forcing others to “not notice” her. This story focuses on her brother Hax. He’s inherited a gene from his mother’s family that gave him hyper-coordination once he reached adolescence. Once extraordinarily clumsy, now he’s just finished pitching his High School baseball team to the state championship and is going out for football where his ability to throw with uncanny accuracy promises to make him a quarterback to remember. Hax is also spine-chillingly accurate with a gun and can be extremely charismatic in some situations. Unfortunately, the mob’s bouncing back from the major setback Roni gave them in the first book. They have a new boss, just as horrible as the previous one and they’re brutalizing people to regain control of Roni and Hax’s hometown of Lareta. Working together, Hax and Roni try to free their town, as well as the neighboring city of Blayton where Roni’s going to college. less
