November 20, 2009 by Mary Amato Leave a Comment

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.

“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)
