“Everyone has to know the truth in case I get killed on the trail. It’ll be My Escape, all written and drawn WHILE IT HAPPENS. Could be a little raw. I’m a little raw. I’m going to lay low, still and quiet, blend in, harmonize with the world out there. It’s not an easy thing to be, a boy on a horse . . . riding invisible.” Would you have enough guts to take off on a horse if your brother was a psychopath? You might not, but 15 year old Yancy does. He will do anything right now just to get away from his brother. Yancy is the main character in “Riding Invisible”. He has an older brother named Will that the doctors have diagnosed with conduct disorder; but Yancy thinks he is just a monster that does not care to change. You can relate to Yancy because almost every family has one crazy person or knows someone who resembles Will. Will is not your normal so called big brother; he is a lot meaner and does not just tease Yancy but hurts him also. Will and Yancy get in the normal fights, but Will expects Yancy to do what he says. But when Yancy refuses, not only does he pay for it, but his horse does also. Will has cut off most of Yancy’s horses tail and also cut him with scissors. The story is laid out in a journal format and is very easy to follow. In the beginning, it describes Yancy’s life at home and what it is like to live with his brother. He describes each day on the trail and what all happens. Yancy eventually finds somewhere to stay where he also has a job. He stayed there until his parents found him and demanded him to come home. I think my peers would enjoy reading this book because it is in journal format and its different to read a book like that. I think that all the characters are all very relatable and the format of the story is easy to follow.
