Chameleon

     Chameleon by Cidney Swanson was a fabulous book! It is a great choice if you are looking for a fictional book. This book wasn't as good as the first but it still was pretty good. For this book to make sense to you, you must read the first book, Rippler. If you would like to read the book review for Rippler click here.
   
     15 year old Samantha Ruiz has a special gene allowing her to become invisible when she wants to. Samantha and her friends, Will and Gwyn are all traveling to France for their french class field trip. While they are there, they meet up with their friend, Sir Walter. He knows a lot about the special gene allowing them to disappear. They have been contacting him through letters for quite some time.

     Everything is going perfectly fine until Samantha gets kidnapped and taken underground by someone who can also turn invisible, or "ripple," as they call it in the book. She has to fight back and try to get out of the underground cave. The person that tried to kidnap her works for Helga. Helga and Samantha met once in the previous book. Helga killed Sam's mother and now wants to kill Samantha because she can "ripple."

     This book was really good but it also had its pros and cons. First of all I thought that in the suspenseful scenes in the book,the plot moved way too quickly. I had no idea what was going on at times because the author was moving so fast. However, I loved that she introduced new characters! The newest character always keeps you wondering. The book also had the typical bad guy. It was so predictable what was going to happen next with the villain.

   
    Overall I thought this book was pretty great! It could have used a few minor changes but that is okay. I have even started reading the third and final book of the series, Unfurl!
