About Me

I'm the school librarian at G.S. Lakie Middle School. As you can see - me, reading and comfy chairs go way back. I still enjoy Asterix and many other graphic novels. My main reason for blogging is for reviewing books for the students and anyone else that might be interested in YA literature.

The Line

The Line by Teri Hall

Well, it seems like a round of dystopian future type books has hit my desk and here is another one -- The Line by Teri Hall.

From the publisher:
An invisible, uncrossable physical barriers encloses the United States. The line is part of the border that lopped off part of the country, dooming the inhabitants to an unknown fate when the enemy used a banned weapon. It's said that bizarre creatures and superhumans live on the otherside in Away. Nobody except tough old Ms. Moore would live next to the line.
Nobody but Rachel and her mother, who went to live there after Rachel's Dad died in the last war. It's a safe, quiet life. Untile Rachel finds a mysterious recorded message that can only have come from Away. The voice is asking for help.
Who sent the message? Why is her mother so protective? And to what lengths is Rachel willing to go to in order to do what she thinks is right?

Here's an animoto made book trailer that nicely shows how to give credit for pictures/music used.
Read On.
