#INVISIBLE EMMIE PAGES SERIES#
The title of the series comes from the protagonist of the first book, Invisible Emmie.
Each book is told in two different styles and from two different viewpoints: the primary narrator (named on the cover) in illustrated novel style, and the secondary narrator in graphic novel style. The series centers around various connected middle school students attending the same school, with each book narrated by one or two students dealing with struggles such as self-confidence, identity, early crushes, social perception, toxic friendships, and more.
Emmie & Friends is a series of coming of age Middle Grade graphic/illustrated novels by Terri Libenson. Pros: This graphic novel-chapter book hybrid will appeal to fans of Wimpy Kid type books as well as graphic novels Raina Telgemeier, Jennifer Holm, and Victoria Jamieson.Ĭons:There were a few references (like Emmie referring to herself as an “oops baby”) that might raise an eyebrow for parents and/or teachers of younger readers.Left to Right: Jamie, Emmie, and Brianna. The two girls connect in a surprising way late in the day, and Emmie has a good last class that bodes well for the rest of her seventh grade year. Interspersed with her story is a comic tale of Katie, a classmate who is pretty, popular, smart, and confident. He proceeds to tease and torture her for the rest of the afternoon, until Emmie feels like she has been reduced to a puddle of slime. Emmie accidentally drops hers, and it’s discovered by insufferable class clown Joe. At lunch, she and Brianna amuse themselves by writing over-the-top love notes to their crushes. But one day stands out as particularly horrible. Summary: Middle school is always difficult for quiet, shy Emmie, who only speaks to her best friend Brianna, walks through the halls with her head down, and hides by drawing whenever she can.
