Flat Broke : Invisible Lines

While reading "Flat Broke", I have noticed various similarities between this book and "Invisible Lines". One thing that really stood out to me is that both of them talked about making money in some way. In flat broke, the main character Kevin, try's to find different ways to make money to take his crush to the dance; he stated, "Girls love flowers right? Well I need money to buy them." In the book invisible lines, he tries to make money to support his family; he stated, "I was making 50 cents every shoe I did graffiti on. In no time I'll have enough to buy soccer shoes." Some differences about the two books is that in flat broke, he makes money to impress someone; and in invisible lines, he makes money to support his family. I don't know too much background information about Kevin, but he doesn't seem like it's very important to have or get the money he wants. However in invisible lines, trevor needs to make money because his family lives in poverty and he wants to help his mom that has to work in unsafe conditions. 

Spring

What I'm looking forward to this spring break, is going to the skate park. If you didn't know already, I love to skate. I know how to Ollie, shuvit, pop shuvit, frontside and backside 180, and I'm learning to do a kick flip. I also am good with ramps and flat bars. 

Flat broke: Plot

"Flat Broke" is about a 14-year old boy named Kevin. His allowance has been cut off and he has no spending money. Kevin comes up with a way of money-making and starts to put those ideas to work. Not all of his money-making ideas are completely thought out, but he is trying to become rich. 

I think this books plot is that he can't make enough money. I know this because in the book it talked about all the ways he thought of, but never would've really worked. 

I like this book so far because it's short and sweet. Flat broke is more of a lower level boo, but great for when you need a break from longer books. It has 120 pages, and is fiction. I would recommend this book to grade school kids, getting used to reading.
