Invisible Emmie

Invisible Emmie

Terri Libenson

Invisible Emmie, by Terri Libenson, is sweet, relatable, and perfect for all ages. Emmie, the main character, is a quiet kid. She goes through her days at school doing her best to avoid attention. She has one close friend who goes to the same school, and when they're not together, she's pretty much only drawing and trying to blend in with the scenery. But, when a joke gets loose, Emmie’s life turns upside down. With the story told from two points of view, the end of the book greets you with a twist.

Invisible Emmie is relatable, fun, and perfect for any middle-school readers. Although the writing is slightly confusing and strange, the overall storyboard and idea is amazing. It really shows the brain of an introverted, awkward, and shy middle-schooler. One thing I really appreciate is how well Teri Libenson captures how wildly stressful and painful difficult social situations can seem when you're that age, and how much courage it can take just to get through an afternoon. And how things that seem like the end of the world can sometimes lead to new beginnings.
