Invisible Lines by Mary Amato (Review by Jeannie Jones- MG)

Review

Invisible Lines by Mary Amato was one of the most awesome, entertaining books I’ve ever read. It’s about a boy named Trevor, but everyone calls him Trev. His family is not very wealthy. Trev lives with his mom, his little sister Tish, and his little brother Michael. Trevor is going to a public school and meets some rich, awesome, soccer-playing boys. Meanwhile Trevor is very good at soccer himself. The boys that become his friends are Xander and Langley. But when Trev threatens Xander’s repudiation as the best soccer player, Xander makes trouble for Trevor.

As a middle school student, it is easy to relate to Trevor. The storyline was strong as well as the author’s writing. Amato understands how the minds of middle schoolers work and never talks down to us because of our age.

I would recommend this fun, realistic fiction novel to any person 5-8 grade. 5 stars.

Upcoming: The Unveiling of a New NSCG Branch and a Green Books Campaign

Some exciting events are coming up for the NSCGs.

1. Thursday, Nov. 5: The Unveiling of a New NSCG Branch- While we typically do reviews for YA and older, there has been so much interest in Middle Grade fiction that the NSCGs have added a MG Branch. This branch will feature MG books reviewed by MG-aged readers. Our first review will be of PJ Hoover's The Emerald Tablet. An interview will be included. Both the review and interview were conducted by a middle grade reviewer. (Note: If any MG publishers/authors are interesting in sending us a book for review, send an email to not_so_cg@yahoo.com)
   
2. Tuesday, Nov. 10: Green Books Campaign- NSCG goes green in the Green Books Campaign. We will be reviewing the environmentally-friendly Only Milo in support of this campaign.

Make sure to stop by for both events!
