Invisible

3 Audiocassettes, 3.75hours Seventeen-year-old outcast Doug Hanson has obsessions and he admits it. He's dependent on his best friend Andy Morrow, the quarterback of the football team. He can't keep his eyes off Melissa Haverman, the prettiest girl in school. More than anything else, he's fanatical about the Madham Line, a model railroad town he's building in his basement. Doug is also ingenious. The main attraction of the Madham Line is a scale model of the Golden Gate Bridge, which is constructed entirely out of woodent matchsticks. Although the bridge project keeps Doug focused, there are terrible secrets in his past that alter his perception of reality. And making matters worse, he isn't taking the medication his psychiatrist perscribed. With Invisible, National Book Award-winning author Pete Hautman has crafted a powerful tale of one tormented boy's troubled life. Narrator Norm Lee's compassionate performance will have listeners empathizing with Doug as he struggles against his personal demons. "With its excellent plot development and unforgettable heartbreaking protagonist, this is a compelling novel of mental illness" - School Library Journal, starred review.
