책 소개

Award-winning comics creator and author of the bestselling Invisible Emmie Terri Libenson returns with a companion graphic novel that captures the drama, angst, and humor of middle-school life. Perfect for fans of Raina Telgemeier, Jennifer Holm, and Victoria Jamieson.

Middle school is all about labels.

Izzy is the dreamer. There’s nothing Izzy loves more than acting in skits and making up funny stories. The downside? She can never quite focus enough to get her schoolwork done.

Bri is the brain. But she wants people to see there’s more to her than just a report card full of As. At the same time, she wishes her mom would accept her the way she is and stop bugging her to “break out of her shell” and join drama club.

The girls’ lives converge in unexpected ways on the day of a school talent show, which turns out to be even more dramatic than either Bri or Izzy could have imagined.

출판사 서평

“Libenson captures middle-school dramas?family, friendships, crushes, stereotypes, grades, self-discovery?with candor, fast pacing, and authentic, relatable characters. Positively satisfying.” (The Horn Book)

“Libenson nicely touches on classic middle-grade tropes, such as shifting friendships, crushes, and developing confidence. A poignant twist ending adds a heartening note to an already charming story.” (Booklist)

“The story is light but resonant for middle graders, with constant comedic asides in the illustrations.” (Kirkus Reviews)

Praise for INVISIBLE EMMIE: “This is middle grade fiction at its best. A fantastic debut novel with plenty of laughs and tons of heart. INVISIBLE EMMIE is unforgettable!” (Lincoln Peirce, author of Big Nate)

요즘 코로나19로 집 밖에 나가지 못하다 보니 아이가 책을 많이 읽고 싶어 해서 아이 선물로 사주었습니다. 너무 재미있게 읽고 있어서 기분이 좋습니다. 해외 도서라 혹시 배송이 오래 걸리지 않을까 걱정했는데, 빠른 배송해 주셔서 너무 감사 드립니다^^
