“Many readers will recognize themselves in Emmie and her friends, who are at once self-conscious and eager to be seen for who they are. “With all-too-familiar middle-school drama and an empowering lesson about speaking up and bravely facing down embarrassment, this should find an easy audience among fans of Wimpy Kid or Dork Diaries books.” - Booklist A well-executed twist will have readers flipping back to see what they missed while cheering the strides made by Libenson’s no-longer-invisible heroine.” - Publishers Weekly “In her first children’s book, cartoonist Libenson offers strikingly different visions of seventh grade through two very dissimilar narrators. Reading Invisible Emmie sums up middle school: You laugh, you cry, you get beaned in the head with a volleyball.” - Stephan Pastis, author of Timmy Failure “Clever, funny work by a great cartoonist. “This funny and heartfelt tale will ring true for anyone who’s ever felt invisible.” - Victoria Jamieson, Newbery Honor author-illustrator of Roller Girl Invisible Emmie is unforgettable!” - Lincoln Peirce, author of Big Nate A fantastic debut novel with plenty of laughs and tons of heart. “This is middle grade fiction at its best. Terri has a husband, two daughters, and one poodle (all adorable). Terri is the New York Times bestselling author of the Emmie & Friends series and the cartoonist of the award-winning syndicated comic strip The Pajama Diaries (2006–2020). She also knows how wonderful it is when friendships do work out. But as a mom (and former middle school student in the dark ages), she knows these things happen. I bet anyone who would read it, would hope the same.As a Type A perfectionist, Terri Libenson hates to admit that she has any ex-friends. I want to read it again, and I definitely wish there could be a sequel. These are reasons why it’s my favourite book.
After reading this book, you’ll have hope, and some kind of feeling that I can’t even explain. The story is funny, creative, relatable, empathetic, shows readers important messages and certainly touches the heart. But that doesn’t matter when you consider all the qualities. The only thing I found wrong about it was the fact that we don’t get enough information about the time and setting. To conclude, Invisible Emmie is a terrific book. I know I can! But, I still think this book would be funny and entertaining for kids a little younger, or a little older. I would recommend this book especially for middle-schoolers (ages 11-14), because they can probably understand, and relate the most to certain things happening in the story.
I’m not going to reveal the message now, you’ll have to find it out yourself. And at the end is where you start understanding the moral, which I think is important to anyone who reads this book. It was unexpected, creative and it was a happy ending. Now, I want to talk a little about the ending. I would call it a comedy, because the main character is pretty funny! Invisible Emmie will make you chuckle, if not, it’ll at least give you a little smile. The author doesn’t give readers many details on time or setting.
The majority of the book takes place in Lakefront middle school in wintertime. The author made it easy to understand who they are, based on pictures, things they say, and the way Emmie describes them. They create more drama, comedy and each one of them gives the reader different emotions, such as anger, empathy, etc. I think all the main characters make the story a lot more interesting. There are more characters to the story, but they don’t have much importance. And of course, there’s always that one idiot type character included. There’s also Brianna, Emmie’s best friend, and their crushes, Tyler Ross and Anthony Randall. Of course, Emmie (the main character), is introduced, as well as Katie. There aren’t too many characters that are mentioned in the story. Things like the cute cartoons, jokes, feelings of the characters and certain conflicts make it interesting to read. While I read it, my mind falls out of the real world, and into the story. In my opinion, this book is very entertaining. Their lives unexpectedly intersect one day, when an embarrassing note falls into the wrong hands. Quiet, shy and artistic Emmie, and popular, outgoing, athletic Katie. Invisible Emmie is the story of two different girls who attend the same middle school.
