I want to read it again, and I definitely wish there could be a sequel. These are reasons why it’s my favourite book. After reading this book, you’ll have hope, and some kind of feeling that I can’t even explain. The story is funny, creative, relatable, empathetic, shows readers important messages and certainly touches the heart. But that doesn’t matter when you consider all the qualities. The only thing I found wrong about it was the fact that we don’t get enough information about the time and setting. To conclude, Invisible Emmie is a terrific book. I know I can! But, I still think this book would be funny and entertaining for kids a little younger, or a little older. I would recommend this book especially for middle-schoolers (ages 11-14), because they can probably understand, and relate the most to certain things happening in the story. I’m not going to reveal the message now, you’ll have to find it out yourself. And at the end is where you start understanding the moral, which I think is important to anyone who reads this book. It was unexpected, creative and it was a happy ending. Now, I want to talk a little about the ending. I would call it a comedy, because the main character is pretty funny! Invisible Emmie will make you chuckle, if not, it’ll at least give you a little smile. The author doesn’t give readers many details on time or setting. The majority of the book takes place in Lakefront middle school in wintertime. The author made it easy to understand who they are, based on pictures, things they say, and the way Emmie describes them. They create more drama, comedy and each one of them gives the reader different emotions, such as anger, empathy, etc. I think all the main characters make the story a lot more interesting. There are more characters to the story, but they don’t have much importance. And of course, there’s always that one idiot type character included. There’s also Brianna, Emmie’s best friend, and their crushes, Tyler Ross and Anthony Randall. Of course, Emmie (the main character), is introduced, as well as Katie. There aren’t too many characters that are mentioned in the story. Things like the cute cartoons, jokes, feelings of the characters and certain conflicts make it interesting to read. While I read it, my mind falls out of the real world, and into the story. In my opinion, this book is very entertaining. Their lives unexpectedly intersect one day, when an embarrassing note falls into the wrong hands. Quiet, shy and artistic Emmie, and popular, outgoing, athletic Katie. (May)Copyright 2017 Publishers Weekly, LLC Used with permission.Invisible Emmie is the story of two different girls who attend the same middle school. 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. Katie rises to her defense, but Emmie eventually learns to speak up for herself, realizing that embarrassment isn't the end of the world and being social isn't as impossible as she thought. Emmie and Katie share a crush on classmate Tyler, and when a sappy love note Emmie writes to Tyler as a joke is made public, Emmie is humiliated. Katie's chapters, by contrast, are big, splashy panels that reflect her outgoing personality ("I'm just your average teenage girl," she says after being offered movie roles and the crown of homecoming queen). With frizzy hair and hunched shoulders, Emmie shows up in tiny vignettes, sandwiched between blocks of text, that make her look as small and insignificant as she feels. School is stressful for shy, quiet Emmie Katie, meanwhile, is breezily popular, confident, and beautiful. In her first children's book, cartoonist Libenson ( The Pajama Diaries) offers strikingly different visions of seventh grade through two very dissimilar narrators.
