Invisible Emmie is a great story because Emmie only has one Bff in the beginning, but a cool girl named katie has so many! Emmie learns that you don't need to be cool/popular to have friends.This book is mostly about... Friends,fun,humor,and boys!

This was a really sweet and important childrens book about being shy and coming out of your shell. I really enjoyed the subtle humor in it. Its funny and realistic and I love how well the drawings compliment the text. Im very excited to share this with the kids at work.

A nice readalike for younger fans of Raina Telegeimeier. A kind of mix between an illustrated story and a graphic novel. Emmie is sweet, shy, and going through typical middle school blues. I think this could easily be enjoyed by 3-5th graders as well as those middle schoolers going through Emmie's same woes.

I'm not a fan of the disability references here. Some disabilities are used as a means of bullying. Also, in the beginning, she makes light of disabilities in a way that was just not okay. I get that she's a middle schooler, but it it didn't have to be there or go without answer.
Otherwise, it was an easy to read story about navigating middle school as a quiet person. There are other books I'd recommend first. It didn't stand out in any big way.
Fans of Telgemeier will like it.

That proved quite clever at the end. I like these autobiographical type graphic novels especially when the characters are portrayed as the little assholes kids are at that age.
