Writing with Humor, Heart, & Grit
Invisible Lines, my ninth book, is out November 24th and getting great reviews.
Booklist says:
“With its exciting mix of soccer, science, art, friends, and enemies, Trevor’s first-person narrative will pull in readers…Trevor’s anger and tenderness are heartbreaking.”
Ages 10 and up.
These are just a few of my favorite lines from the fan mail I have received…
The Word Eater
“This book is my favorite of all time, because I could read this book over and over again and never get bored.” –Tabitha (Anaheim, CA)
“I couldn’t put it down unless my teacher told me I had to put it down.”—Jake (Mercer Island, WA)
The Riot Brothers Series
“I am 11 years old. I love to read. My favorite part of reading is making pictures in my mind. And boy did I form a lot of pictures when our class read your book. The Riot Brothers have a personality that I think everyone would want.”—Christina (Glendale, AZ)
“When I read your Riot Brothers books, I laugh to the ground.”—Seth (Rockville, MD)
Please Write in this Book
“It is funniest book on Earth.”–Justin (North Plainfield, NJ)
The Naked Mole-Rat Letters
“Once I finished The Naked Mole-Rat Letters, I wanted to scream. I wanted to jump up and say GO MRS. AMATO because you wrote the book with so much detail. I felt like I was watching it all happen as I read every word.” —Cate (Bordentown, NJ)
“I read The Naked Mole-Rat Letters and it changed my life in reading and writing. I used to dislike writing. Now I love it. I want to write books and make kids laugh like your book made me laugh.”–Julie (Clarence, Missouri)
