Knowles, Jo. Read Between the Lines. Candlewick Press, 2015.
Every chapter in this book is its own story, and each story is connected to the others. Each story features a character who is given the finger by someone else, and by the end of the story it is obvious how all of these seemingly random events connect to each other.
I could see teens enjoying these individual stories, especially with the addition of the obscene hand gesture, but this wasn't a story with an obvious plot at all, which makes it difficult to describe. There wasn't much of a story going on at all, but I would still recommend this book to teens, especially those who are reluctant to read longer works and may wish to visit only one of the short stories. I would hope one of those stories would hook the reader and draw them in to the rest of the book.
Recommended for: teens
Red Flags: language
Overall Rating: 2/5 stars
