Invisible Emmie by Terri Libenson

-


Invisible Emmie is the story of two very different girls at the same middle school - shy, artistic and quiet Emmie and popular, athletic, outgoing Katie - and one particular event involving an embarrassing note and what happens when it falls into the wrong hands.


About the Author:


Terri Libenson is a New York Times bestselling children's book author and award-winning cartoonist of the syndicated daily comic strip, The Pajama Diaries. She is also an award-winning humorous card writer for American Greetings.

Terri graduated from Washington University in St. Louis with a BFA (Bachelor of Fine Arts) and a minor in art history. She now lives with her husband and two daughters in Cleveland, Ohio.


What I thought of the book:

I really like this book! I have re-read it multiple times and I still really enjoy it. I really enjoy the art and the difference between Emmie and Katie's pages. It is also pretty relatable (sadly ðŸ˜…) for me as a middle-schooler but it's still fun to escape into, as you're rooting for the characters the whole time (instead of being annoyed at them - which I usually am in books!). It is also an incredibly quick and fast-paced read which is very easy to get through. 
Overall, a humorous, relatable, and quick graphic novel - would highly recommend it! 


More Details:

January is relentless.  The days are bleak and cold, only occasionally coloured by mugs of hot chocolate (despite minor lactose aversions - the jury’s still out on whether it's worth it or not) and shared moments on the living room sofa where it takes approximately one full dinner discussion plus an additional fifteen minutes to come to a consensus on the movie of the night. A notification containing the week’s GRAP restrictions finds its way into the family group chat each week, punctuating the passing of time. We collect all the sunshine we can find, as it filters through windows and smiles, and when we can’t do that we make our own with our new-old lamp which has finally found a new home.  Amidst new year’s quiet chaos, we brave the cold - not on a quest for sunshine, but for a number; an identity wrapped up in digits. To the post office we go.  The room is small and grey. Babies are lifted up to chairs to have their pictures taken, forms are filled, and documents are ...

I honestly do not know how to begin, Gorgeous writing Powerful images So much heart and So much hope Every page was a gift - a little window into her soul, heartbreak, grief, joy, family, loneliness, childhood, history, love.
