“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
“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
“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
“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

This book is an eye opener to not to succumb to a marriage that doesn't work and you can't buy love nor force anyone to love you! There are so many red flags in relationships that one should not ignore🥺while reading towards the final chapters I saw a bit of myself in there but to wrap it all what an amazing sad truth this book has brought to all women out there who has lost self worth because we give it all n forget who we are and forget our dreams this book demonstrate clearly how some men can mirror you as a woman just for you to cover his inferior complex or feed his greedy desired!!
We love this book! It speaks so honestly to the struggle of so many of our children who are battling with self acceptance in this crazy world they are forced to navigate. Not only is the message beautiful, but the illustrations are a delicate treat to appreciate by Mom and Dad as well :)
