The illustrations were fantastic, funny, and so expressive. The book was so creative and witty, although a too adult for middle graders in a few places. Terri Libenson is a wonderful storyteller. And then…BAM! The ending came and it all finally started to make sense and I loved the book even more. I kept wondering when the two characters would meet or when would their stories align. However, I found them completely unrelated at times, which made for a confusing reading experience at times. The two narratives could be their own separate books but they flowed naturally together. Their middle school experience is very relatable as they try to be more than the label others have perceived them as. I loved both Izzy and Brianna as main characters. Positively Izzy is a really great, entertaining story. The girls’ lives converge in unexpected ways on the day of a school talent show, which turns out to be even more dramatic than either Bri or Izzy could have imagined. At the same time, she wishes her mom would accept her the way she is and stop bugging her to “break out of her shell” and join drama club. It actually says in the book that a mouse and Emmie have a tie for muteness. She used to be loud when she was a baby, but now she’s as quiet as a mouse.
INVISIBLE EMMIE SUMMARY FULL
But she wants people to see there’s more to her than just a report card full of As. Emmie’s story is more like a book than a comic and Katie’s story is more like a comic than a normal book. The downside? She can never quite focus enough to get her schoolwork done.īri is the brain. Invisible Emmie is an eye-opening chapter book that sees life through a middle school-aged girl, Emmie, who suffers with social anxiety. There’s nothing Izzy loves more than acting in skits and making up funny stories. Favorite Quote: (from Author’s Dedication Page) “To all you readers, who should never be branded as anything except ‘awesome.'”
