Críticas

"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

"This funny and heartfelt tale will ring true for anyone who's ever felt invisible."--Victoria Jamieson, Newbery Honor author-illustrator of Roller Girl

"Clever, funny work by a great cartoonist. Reading Invisible Emmie sums up middle school: You laugh, you cry, you get beaned in the head with a volleyball."--Stephan Pastis, author of Timmy Failure

"In her first children's book, cartoonist Libenson offers strikingly different visions of seventh grade through two very dissimilar narrators. 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."--Publishers Weekly

"Many readers will recognize themselves in Emmie and her friends, who are at once self-conscious and eager to be seen for who they are. A highly relatable middle grade drama."--School Library Journal

"With all-too-familiar middle-school drama and an empowering lesson about speaking up and bravely facing down embarrassment, this should find an easy audience among fans of Wimpy Kid or Dork Diaries books."--Booklist

"Libenson's clever tale will entertain readers in the throes of middle school as well as younger students both wary of and intrigued by their near future."--The Horn Book
