Probably because it’s the Emmie character I related to most, and some reviewers have said all the books have a similar kind of twist ending. This book is part of a series, but the others don’t look quite as appealing to me. And this wasn’t a thing when I was a kid obviously- but I’m the one now who has an ‘ancient’ flip phone! haha. Other kids on the bus even made jokes that I was mute, because they never heard me talking to anyone. The novel seems to rotate its point of view between quiet and timid Emmie and the perfect and beautiful Katie, but in the end we learn that Katie is a fictional cartoon character created by Emmie, who draws comics in her notebook in order to help. I was the super quiet one that preferred drawing to watching television, and couldn’t manage to make small talk. Invisible Emmie is a graphic novel that is told in the first person by the main character, Emmie. Because I was like that in middle and high school. For all that, what I really liked about it was Emmie’s character. There was a clue earlier on, I just didn’t pick up on it. I was glad to see Emmie find ways to stand up for herself, but I was thrown off by the final reveal ( Katie’s not real. While it’s got a lot of detail, this story covers only one school day. Will she suffer in silence? or finally speak up for herself? Then her crush asks Katie out, which complicates things. Emmie wrote a love poem to him in jest, but she drops it and another kid picks it up- and of course he shares it around. Through the story each girl is seen in the background of the other’s pages, and then they intersect over a boy Emmie has a crush on. Her contrast Katie is popular, pretty and surrounded by gossiping friends- a girl who seems to have it all, but isn’t snobby about it and tries to be nice to others.
She mostly tries to avoid being noticed at school, but then wonders why nobody sees her. She has a lonely home life (both parents work), likes drawing (but doesn’t hang out with the art club kids) and often doesn’t know what to say when other kids are chatting away. The story is told in alternate viewpoints- Emmie’s has explanatory paragraphs with lots of illustrations, whereas Katie’s pages are pure comic-book style.
Dead rats in the hall? what?) It’s kind of a merge between graphic novel and illustrated chapter book.
(Wet paper towels stuck to the wall and kids that spit on the floor, okay. It’s obviously a humorous look at how awful middle school can be, but some things just seemed too over the top. It has some issues, but for the most part, I really connected with the main character so overlooked some awkward things. She thought it boring, didn’t read far and put it in our return pile.
