Invisible emmie brianna series#

The book deals with themes of friendship, self-esteem issues, bullying, coping mechanisms, and many more but does so in a safe and relatable manner. It works well in making sure that the reader always understands whose voice we are now hearing but it does take a while to get used to. The writing style of this book is quite an interesting one with Emmie’s story being told through more of a traditional writing style and accompanying illustrations and then Katie’s story being told in graphic novel form. When a joke love letter that Emmie writes to Tyler one lunch ends up in the wrong hands the two girls find their paths continually overlapping. Katie is the school’s most popular student who has everything going for her, outgoing personality, more friends than she can keep up with, perfect grades, and a great new boyfriend Tyler Ross. While there certainly are elements (and whole chapters) in traditional graphic novel format, less than half of the book is in that style.ġ3 year old Emmie is an artistic but shy middle-school student, so quiet that most of the time she ends up feeling quite invisible to everyone but her best friend Brianna. Though the books are labelled as graphic novels it would be more accurate to say that they have strong graphic novel influences.
