Invisible Emmie by Terri Libenson
4.0
I just want to give this book to every shy and uncertain middle-school girl! What a great story about overcoming an embarrassing situation AND stepping out of your comfort zone AND making new friends--without patronizing or preaching in a boring, uninspired story. I absolutely loved it.
I also particularly enjoyed the format of the story. The mix of graphic novel and text was not only unique, but perfectly suited to the story. I started to suspect the surprise near the end of the book, but it wasn't something I saw coming at the beginning of the book, and the teens in book club definitely didn't predict the outcome. The twist at the end led to a great discussion!
I definitely recommend Invisible Emmie!
