Gadget Girl - The Art of Being Invisible (Paperback)

"Anna and the French Kiss" meets "Stoner & Spaz" in a contemporary young adult coming-of-age novel about a girl, her struggles, and her art.
Aiko Cassidy is fourteen and lives with her sculptor mother in a small Midwestern town. For most of her young life Aiko, who has cerebral palsy, has been her mother's muse. But now, she no longer wants to pose for the sculptures that have made her mother famous. Aiko works hard on her own dream of becoming a great manga artist with a secret identity. When Aiko's mother invites her to Paris for a major exhibition of her work, Aiko at first resists. She'd much rather go to Japan, Manga Capital of the World, where she might be able to finally meet her father, the indigo farmer. When she gets to France, however, a hot waiter with a passion for manga and an interest in Aiko makes her wonder if being invisible is such a great thing after all.
"Gadget Girl "began as a novella published in "Cicada." The story won the SCBWI Magazine Merit Award in Fiction and was included in an anthology of the best stories published in "Cicada" over the past ten years.
