After ten years of ballet lessons, Jordan Walker has finally landed her first principal role in Romeo and Juliet. Sweeter yet, "Romeo" has asked her to the May Fling Ball at Winston High. But a massive Texas earthquake triggered by the fracking activity nearby tears apart the community and Jordan's future as a dancer. The Walker family survives the earthquake, but now Jordan and her family are forced to abandon their old lives and flee to Galveston. It isn't until she meets Caleb, a blind musician, that Jordan dares to hope again. And the more their secret friendship develops, the more Jordan understands the danger she's placed everyone in.
Some Act of Vision eBook Lori Ann Stephens
How often have you fantasized about being invisible? In Some Act of Vision, 16 year old Jordan and her family find out just how dangerous it is. After being exposed to an unstable gas and becoming invisible, the Walkers are on the run from government.While the dilemma of being invisible is an interesting concept, the heart of this novel is about family relationships and trust which this author beautifully illustrates. While living mostly in isolation, Jordan realizes her role within her family and how to trust her own instincts. Her loving relationship with Ethan, her younger brother, is especially heart warming.
The budding romance between invisible Jordan and handsome Caleb (who is blind) is absolutely perfect. Caleb’s disability proves not-so-much-a-disability at all. Very well done, Ms. Stephens!
There is plenty of action and suspense to keep the pages turning quickly as Jordan and her family fight to stay alive and to see each other again.

Some Act of Vision eBook Lori Ann Stephens Reviews

A little supernatural, a little political, and a lot of family take the center of this book. With a large mysterious building that pops up in this town in Texas, comes some intrigue as to what is going on behind the closed doors. After an earthquake, that doesn't seem to come from just nature, this town has an environmental hazard and a father must make a quick decision to save his family.
I realize this book is listed as YA, but this "Old" Adult loved it! Stephens caused me to lose myself in her writing because of the suspense, fast-paced 'family on the run' storyline and budding romance. I really love the themes of invisibility, blindness, and how all of us 'see' those around us. Plus it made me do more research on fracking so another kudos to the author. Looking forward to a sequel to this book!
Some Act of Vision is fast-paced and beautifully-written. The novel balances beautifully between the demands of the rollicking adventure plot and occasional moments of lyrical description. With a sweet and poignant teenage romance and a compelling political thriller of a plot, Stephens has crafted a story that is, at its core, about family, responsibility, and that bittersweet moment right between childhood and adulthood. I couldn't put it down, and I've been thinking about it ever since I finished.
Stephens has created a cast of smart, lovable characters that propelled me through the pages. Jordan is endearing and, even though you root for her, she behaves in a way that's entirely believable for a teenage girl. She is both likable and flawed, which is something that you don't always see in YA heroines. More than the romance, the story is about Jordan herself and how she learns to take her place in the world. I can't wait for more from Stephens! Definitely an author to watch for.
This is one of the best books I've read in a long time. It is an incredible story that will keep you turning the pages. Before you know it, you will be upset because its over. Stephens's words created a picture in my head, it was as if i was watching the story rather than reading the words. Wow just wow.
This book was written for young adults. However, far from being a young adult myself, it certainly captured my attention. The style of writing simply flows. Ms. Stephens does a wonderful job with characterization. The characters became alive...real..and I felt like I knew each one intimately. The suspense, love, adventure, and unexpected turns made it a hard to put down book. When I realized that I had only a few pages left to read, it actually irritated me. I wanted more! I can hardly wait for the sequel...certainly, there will be one!
I bought this for my niece last Christmas, but since I had some free time I decided to read it myself, too. While I'm not the target audience (teenage girls), I found the book engaging and enjoyable. The family's invisibility was a neat concept to imagine, and the development of Jordan's character felt realistic. I would probably not buy this for a child younger than 13 because there were a few bad words and some romance that might be a bit mature for younger "tweens." But it's a well-crafted story that I would definitely recommend to teenagers.
Some Act of Vision is not your average YA novel. It starts that way, with a teenaged dancer whose biggest worries are about whether the boy she likes likes her back and about her role as Juliet in "Romeo and Juliet," but then the huge twist comes and her whole world changes. This novel really gives you a lot to think about, and makes you (like the main character) reevaluate what is really important in life. In addition, the book is very well-written and the characters are very realistic. I look forward to reading more from this author!
