Told over the course of just one day and presented in a graphic novel diary-type format, Invisible Emmie is entertaining, touching and funny in equal measure. How will Emmie handle the sudden attention? It’s just supposed to be a bit of fun between the two friends, but when Emmie unknowingly drops one of them and it’s picked up by the most annoying kid in her class, school suddenly gets even more awkward than usual. Today, Emmie and Brianna spend their lunch writing deliberately over-the-top love letters to their respective crushes. She loves to draw – and is good at it too – and has a best friend, Brianna, but her crippling shyness makes school and interacting with, well, anyone, really scary. She lives in Cleveland, Ohio.Thirteen-year-old Emmie is the quiet girl at school, the one nobody notices. Terri has a husband, two daughters, and one poodle (all adorable).
