From the publisher

“Academic rivals portrayed to perfection… An all-time top favorite.” –Chloe Gong, #1 New York Times bestselling author of These Violent Delights and Our Violent Ends “Utterly unique, thought-provoking, and wonderfully written.” –Gloria Chao, author of American Panda and Rent a BoyfriendIn this genre-bending, speculative YA debut, a Chinese American girl monetizes her strange new invisibility powers by discovering and selling her wealthy classmates’ most scandalous secrets. Alice Sun has always felt invisible at her elite Beijing international boarding school, where she’s the only scholarship student among China’s most rich and influential teens. But then she starts uncontrollably turning invisible–actually invisible. When her parents drop the news that they can no longer afford her tuition, even with the scholarship, Alice hatches a plan to monetize her strange new power–she’ll discover the scandalous secrets her classmates want to know, for a price. But as the tasks escalate from petty scandals to actual crimes, Alice must decide if it’s worth losing her conscience–or even her life.
