Invisible Lines

By Mary Amato

     Seventh grader Trevor Musgrove’s family has moved again, into a shabby, rundown apartment in Hedly Gardens, locally known as Deadly Gardens. Trevor’s mom works two jobs, but barely makes enough money to pay the rent, let alone clothe and feed her three kids. With Trevor’s dad out of the picture—he’s in jail — Trevor’s in charge of his younger step-siblings while his mom works. He’d rather hang out with friends and play soccer but in his not-so free time, Trevor draws. It is his art and his sense of humor that carries Trevor through his more difficult times in life.
