#WHEN DOES INVISIBLE EMMIE TAKE PLACE SERIES#
Emmie & Friends is a series of coming of age Middle Grade graphic/illustrated novels by Terri Libenson. “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. Left to Right: Jamie, Emmie, and Brianna. “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 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 “In her first children’s book, cartoonist Libenson offers strikingly different visions of seventh grade through two very dissimilar narrators.

Henry Khoos family treats him like a baby. 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 Fly on the Wall, a moving and hilarious diary-style illustrated novel from the award-winning author of Pie in the Sky, a twelve-year-old boy goes on a (forbidden) solo adventure halfway around the world to prove his independence to his overprotective family. “Clever, funny work by a great cartoonist. “This funny and heartfelt tale will ring true for anyone who’s ever felt invisible.” - Victoria Jamieson, Newbery Honor author-illustrator of Roller Girl Emmie is proudly queer, agender, and a knight of the singular they. They speak four languages and hold a degree in history, which means they can tell you their anteater is sick in German and rattle off Polish tongue twisters. Invisible Emmie is unforgettable!” - Lincoln Peirce, author of Big Nate Emmie Mears is an author, actor, and person of fannish pursuits. A fantastic debut novel with plenty of laughs and tons of heart. “This is middle grade fiction at its best. Terri has a husband, two daughters, and one poodle (all adorable). Terri is the New York Times bestselling author of the Emmie & Friends series and the cartoonist of the award-winning syndicated comic strip The Pajama Diaries (2006–2020). She also knows how wonderful it is when friendships do work out. But as a mom (and former middle school student in the dark ages), she knows these things happen. As a Type A perfectionist, Terri Libenson hates to admit that she has any ex-friends.
