Invisible Emmie by Terri Libenson
4.0
Emmie is quiet and a bit shy. She has one really good friend, Brianna, but Emmie spends most of her school day keeping her head down and trying to stay out of sight. And then there is popular, talkative, friendly Katie. When “the note” falls into the wrong hands, both Emmie & Katie learn some new things about themselves.
Being quiet is not something I’ve ever struggled with. My teacher’s comments in school were always “excellent student but talks too much.” So, I couldn’t identify with Emmie’s desire to be quiet yet Emmie will reach a core group of middle schoolers who are desperate for someone to understand them.
An extremely interesting twist at the end of the book bumped this up to four stars for me. Hand to those who devoured Smile by Raina Telgemeier along with El Deafo by Cece Bell and Roller Girl by Victoria Jamieson.
