Recommended for readers of graphic novels, artistic students, and those students who feel that no one sees them
I read this whole book, Invisible Emmie by Terri Libenson, with one particular student in mind. To me, that is a true testament to the honesty of this book. This is the story of Emmie who is quiet, shy, and artistic, and Katie who is well liked, well known, and confident. When the paths of these two cross due to an embarrassing note, we begin to see different sides of each girl as they discover more about who they really are and who they really want to be.
This book will appeal to so many of my fourth graders, both boys and girls, not only for its entertainment value, but also for its lessons in surviving school. With its comic strips, funny graphics, and Diary of a Wimpy Kid style writing, I can't wait to share it.
