Synopsis

The lives of two middle-school girls - one a quiet artist, the other an outgoing, popular overachiever - intersect in unexpected ways in this humorous and surprising graphic novel hybrid, the debut of internationally syndicated, Reuben-award-winning cartoonist Terri Libenson. Perfect for fans of Raina Telgemeier and Jennifer Holm. This is the story of two totally different middle school girls - quiet, shy Emmie and popular, outgoing Katie - and how their lives unexpectedly intersect one day, when an embarrassing note falls into the wrong hands. All the crushes, humiliations, boredom, and drama of middle school are compressed into one surprising day in this extraordinary debut graphic novel. Available in Softcover and Hardcover editions.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

“This is middle grade fiction at its best. A fantastic debut novel with plenty of laughs and tons of heart. Invisible Emmie is unforgettable!” (Lincoln Peirce, author of Big Nate)

“This funny and heartfelt tale will ring true for anyone who’s ever felt invisible.” (Victoria Jamieson, Newbery Honor author-illustrator of Roller Girl)

“Clever, funny work by a great cartoonist. 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)

“In her first children’s book, cartoonist Libenson offers strikingly different visions of seventh grade through two very dissimilar narrators. 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)

“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)

“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. A highly relatable middle grade drama.” (School Library Journal)

“Libenson’s clever tale will entertain readers in the throes of middle school as well as younger students both wary of and intrigued by their near future.” (The Horn Book)
