Hello, I'm trying to find a book that I read a long time ago about a man who turned invisible because cosmic radiation hit his electric blanket while he was asleep. I've tried googling and chat GPT and neither of them turned up any results. Does this book sound familiar to anyone?

Things Not Seen by Andrew Clement

I distinctly remember reading this in first grade because my teacher did this thing where you had to read to her for her to judge your reading capabilities, and I started to read aloud the part where he talks about his #2s not being invisible and I was embarrassed to read that out loud lol

It's been 20 years or so for me. But I recall that they are not #2s. Because they are invisible they are renamed to be #4s!!

OH haha oh my goodness, I do remember him going into what #3s and #4s were but in my embarrassment I must have misunderstood! Thank you for correcting me :)
