Nothing To See Here Pdf is a Magical Realism Fantasy novel By Kevin Wilson. This book is a moving and uproarious novel about a woman who finds meaning in her life when she begins caring for two children with remarkable and disturbing abilities.
Nothing To See Here Summary
Lillian and Madison were unlikely roommates and yet inseparable friends at their elite boarding school. But then Lillian had to leave the school unexpectedly in the wake of a scandal and they’ve barely spoken since. Until now, when Lillian gets a letter from Madison pleading for her help.
Madison’s twin stepkids are moving in with her family and she wants Lillian to be their caretaker. However, there’s a catch: the twins spontaneously combust when they get agitated, flames igniting from their skin in a startling but beautiful way. Lillian is convinced Madison is pulling her leg, but it’s the truth.
Thinking of her dead-end life at home, the life that has consistently disappointed her, Lillian figures she has nothing to lose. Over the course of one humid, demanding summer, Lillian and the twins learn to trust each other—and stay cool—while also staying out of the way of Madison’s buttoned-up politician husband. Surprised by her own ingenuity yet unused to the intense feelings of protectiveness she feels for them, Lillian ultimately begins to accept that she needs these strange children as much as they need her—urgently and fiercely. Couldn’t this be the start of the amazing life she’d always hoped for? With white-hot wit and a big, tender heart, Kevin Wilson has written his best book yet—a most unusual story of parental love.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Novel

This is an unusual novel with a truly odd premise. At its heart, it’s about belonging, loyalty and trust. The protagonist grew up without any of those blessings, and the children she comes to love represent the rage of that longing very clearly. I think a book this good deserves better cover art.

Lillian and Madison have been unlikely best friends since school days. After not having heard from Madison for years, Lillian receives a letter from her friend asking for help. Madison needs Lillian to be a nanny to her unusual twin stepchildren. The catch is that the twins spontaneously combust from time to time. Lillian decides to take the job. Afterall, what does she have to lose?
This story is better than I expected. The realistic characters guide us through an unrealistic plot, making it seem very real to the reader. The emotions they experience ring true, and so do the lessons they learn. This book is really about love, devotion, and dealing with a handicap. Love does conquer all!
5.0 out of 5 stars Unbelievable

I’ve never read anything like this in my life. I can’t say I loved it, but I didn’t dislike it. I would love to talk with Kevin Wilson about his book, but then I would reveal to him how stupid I am.
I want to know more about the children’s future.
This may be a book I often think about, and it may be one I reread often. I just want to know and understand more.
