Targum Press is pleased to announce the publication of a gripping new release for young adults:Invisible Me by Tzipi Caton. This book is available directly from the publisher at (347) 394-3332 or (718) 577-1228. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE She's twenty two years old, and she's captured the hearts of Jewish teens worldwide. Meet Tzipi Caton and her newest book, Invisible Me. Jerusalem, Israel (December 2009) When Tzipi Caton published her first book, Miracle Ride, the inspiring and spunky story of her battle with cancer at age sixteen, she never dreamed that she'd become a instant worldwide sensation. Jewish teens from all over got hooked to her brilliant sense of humor, fantastic writing style and contagious joie de vivre and they began to beg for more. Now, Tzipi's masterful pen is back in fiction mode and it's better than ever. Invisible Me, Tzipi's first novel and second book, portrays Dini, a selectively mute teenage girl who struggles to find her place in a world where she is constantly misunderstood. Faced with teachers who don't know what to make of her and siblings who call her "socially suicidal," she must navigate her way through a new school, a rocky relationship with her mother, and classmates who act as if she doesn't exist. When things come to a head and she faces expulsion from school for a prank she never did, Dini must overcome her deepest fears and learn to connect with the people in her life. Tzipi describes what inspired her to write Invisible Me. "My new book started out as a way to challenge myself as a writer. I tried to tell a story from inside the head of a girl who couldn't speak for herself...The book though, is not about selective mutism. It isn't meant to be. Invisible Me is about relationships. It's about struggling to be heard and loved through the haze of things you say to fill empty spaces." Packed with pages of compelling dialogue and written with Tzipi's trademark style, it's not surprising that Invisible Me sold out in its first printing. Fans call the book "mesmerizing" and "incredibly meaningful." For both adults and young adults, it's a powerful story of pain and healing, and one girl's struggle to find her place in a confusing world.
