Amanda Project Book 1 invisible I The The Amanda Project Amanda Valentino Melissa Kantor 9780061742125 Books Reviews

Callie has a secret. Her mom is missing and her dad is letting himself fall apart. The only person who really seems to know what is happening is Amanda Valentino, the best friend that Callie hides from her popular social clique, the I-Girls.

Except things get a lot more difficult when Amanda goes missing, leaving behind various clues as the search for her begins. Callie finds herself becoming closer to outcasts Hal and Nia, also secret friends of Amanda...leading the question Who else knows about Amanda, and can they add up all the pieces to find her?

INVISIBLE I is just the start of a new book series and I'm definitely excited. As you read, you realize that Amanda kept a lot of secrets, even from the people she was supposedly really close with. She seems like a genuinely good person though, as she does try to help Callie, Hal, and Nia...the only friends of hers we know of - yet.

This book does not reveal Amanda's whereabouts, of course, but with the ever-accumulating notes and clues, it seems like Amanda might not be that far away. But Amanda is not the only one missing, either. Callie has no idea where her mom went and, as you read, she starts to second-guess the ideas she once had. But who can she talk to, when Amanda's gone, as well?

I love the idea of this book, and that it will be a series with various authors picking up the storyline under the name of Stella Lennon. The next book doesn't come out for another year, sadly, but I do know it's written in Hal's point of view (not Callie's), and that the author is a male instead of Melissa Kantor.

If you view the book's website, you find all sorts of fun ways to get involved, and you never know what or how you may show up in the series. It's all very fascinating and definitely a wonderful way to get people reading these books, even if they aren't normally readers.

Here was another book that I wasn't sure what I'd be getting into once I cracked the cover but I can tell you right now, I'm so glad I did.

I've said it before and I'll say it again I don't normally (nor purposely) read mysteries. I just tend to not gravitate towards them in a bookstore or wherever. This happened to be another BEA grab that I made so I was just blindly grabbing. From the blurb, if this were on a shelf, I probably wouldn't have given it a second chance. Boy would that have been my loss. This is a perfect example of a blurb failing to live up to what's actually in the book and what you can miss by not giving something a chance.

I was immediately sucked into the mystery of this book. I mean, it started right on page one when Callie gets called into the principle's office. The point of view is kept so strictly in Callie's eyes that the events unfold as Callie sees them and not before. The reader isn't privy to anything that the character isn't.

What I really liked about the writing was that it was devoid of unnatural and contrived infodumps. All of the information about Callie's life, about Amanda, about Hal and Nia that she knows, is divulged through various mind-wandering memories, pseudo-flashbacks and inserts that are actually relevant to what's going on the moment they happen. The dialogue and the narrative is so realistic that it borders on stream of consciousness but with punctuation and is actually readable.

Along those lines, the dialogue, the slang, wasn't overbearing. Again, it was realistic without being obnoxious. Of course you're going to have those chicks that talk more Valley than the rest but that kind of language was limited to them. Everyone has their own speech, each character was clearly defined in multiple dimensions and they all, even the I-Girls, stood out. Everyone had their flaws and it made them all richer characters for it.

While the ending, not to mention everything n between, opens up a hell of a lot more questions than it answers, the sub-plot, Callie's issues with the I-Girls, resolves. Sort of. Through the search for Amanda, she comes into herself, develops more self-confidence and her will gets stronger. She's finally able to be the person that she wants to be as opposed to the one her friends want her to be. It's an empowering story for anyone, especially for teen girls.

This was an excellent book. So excellent that I even signed up at the website, [...], until I had register's remorse because I have other things I need to be doing, unfortunately. But I want to know more about Amanda. I want to figure out who she is. I want to speculate. Oh to have more hours in our days! This first book in the series has me jonsing for the rest of them. I just hope the rest live up to the fantastic-ness that this one offered up.
Years ago, I discovered this series when it was first released and loved the whole idea of a book/ internet website type series - [...] and I read the Book #1 and loved it, then the other day I was doing the new books at the library and Book #1 came through with a new updated cover and Book #2 and I thought I should give this series a re-read and I loved it even more the second time around. The Amanda Project features three students, none who are friends with each other - the only thing that they have in common is Amanda Valentino and now Amanda has disappeared and the three of them are in trouble as apparently if anyone knows where she is , it must be the three of them. Book #1 is Callie's story and follows the start of the trail for Amanda and her point of view and the different clues she has been given. The idea of the website comes from Hal ( one of Amanda's friends) younger sister who is a computer whiz. Can Callie along with Hal and Nia find Amanda or will they discover that they never really knew Amanda after all and that she is an enigma to them all.
If you love teen sleuthing novels like Nancy Drew crossed with Veronica Mars then check out The Amanda Project Book #1 by Amanda Valentino and Melissa Kantor or head to the website @ [...]
ENJOY )
I chose this rating because I think this is a good book. Hal,Nia, and Call ie trying to find Amanda seems like an headache. But it might be a headache for them, it was a thrill for me.
good condition for a great price
