SuitabookInvisible Fault Lines
Kristen-Paige Madonia
- Reading
- Read at a measured pace and pause around the disappearance, Callie’s changing home life, and disagreements about college. Invite reflection without requiring a child to compare the story with personal experience.
- Themes
- Living with sudden absence: Callie’s father disappears without a trace, and the home she knew becomes an empty shell. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Support when relationships falter: Callie’s friends compete for her attention, while her mother does not understand her wish to take time before college. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Uncertainty before the next stage: Callie wants time before going to college, while feeling pulled in several directions and unsure where to turn. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- Prepare for emotionally heavy material involving a missing parent, an empty-feeling home, despair, strained friendships, and conflict about taking time before college; the eventual resolution is unclear.
