First bewildered, then thrilled with the power of invisibility, Paul experiments. But his "gift" soon shows him shocking secrets and drives him toward a chilling act. "Imagine what might happen if Holden Caufield stepped into H. G. Wells' "The Invisible Man, and you'll have an idea how good "Fade is. . . . I was absolutely riveted."--Stephen King About the Author Robert Cormier has been called "the single most important writer in the whole history of young adult literature." In 1991, he received the Margaret A. Edwards Award, honoring his lifetime contribution to writing for teens. ## Images ![Fade - Image 1](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41DGwtRLD%2BL.jpg) ![Fade - Image 2](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/31GxIwGaPhL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐ A novel of many parts and ideas *by F***N on 1 June 2011* Starts out intriguingly, being the coming of age story of a boy who, as puberty strikes, suddenly has spells of becoming invisible (first without realising), as well as the story of a mystery, and a period piece about the Great Depression in an industrial town (and trade unions)...Then the novel becomes all postmodern, and it becomes a novel about writers, writing, creative writing classes and students, agents, and the process. Then it's back into the story of fading...It's a fast read, possibly for young adults. It's never boring. For me, the mixture did not really satisfy entirely, but it's a decent postmodern self-conscious scifi romp... ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ what would you do if you could make yourself invisible? *by S***H on 16 June 2008* This is the 1st Robert Cormier book I've read, and i'll certainly be reading more because I enjoyed Fade so much - I can't stop thinking about it.It's a sad, dark story and beautifully written.It begins with 13 yr old Paul who discovers he can become invisible. Paul struggles with this new power, the possibilities it gives him and the dangerous path it leads him down. In the second half of the book, adult Paul tracks down his nephew, the new fader. At this point the story becomes very disturbing and violent.I think this is a very adult book, despite it being in the teenage fiction range. Don't expect 'The Invisible Man', the tone is sullen and dreamy and it deals with subjects much deeper than having a 'super power'. I think it's a powerful, haunting read and would highly recommend it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/61105159-fade](https://www.desertcart.at/products/61105159-fade) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
