"Alice Sun has always felt invisible at her elite Beijing international boarding school, where sh'es the only scholarship student in a sea of uber-wealthy classmates. but she has a plan: be top of the class, attend a prestigious university, secure a killer job, and finally lift her family out of poverty. Then her parents drop a bomb - they can no longer afford her tuition, even with the scholarship. But that's the least of Alice's problems because she has started uncontrollably turning invisible. As in complete, physically invisibel. Alice realises there's an upside to her strange new power - unparalleled access to the secrets of China's rich and influential teens. Soon Alice has a new plan: offer her invisibility services to find out what her classmates want to know - for a price. But between balancing schoolwork, a growing relationship with academic-rival-turned-business-partner Henry, and stealing secrets, things start to fall through the cracks. As the tasks escalate from petty scandals to actual crimes, Alice must decide if helping her family is worth losing her conscience - or even her life."--Back cover.
