      My grandchildren (all 11 of them) call me Grandpa Grumpy for reasons I really don’t understand. One of my sons did try to explain it to me once. He told me, “It’s basically because you’re a miserable, grumbling old sod, Dad!” Well that certainly shut

      It wasn’t the basic kids-in-a-school book. This book had better than average characterization. Emmie is a unique 13 year old nerd. She felt like a real person.

      It was a short but sweet story about the troubles of middle school somehow captured in one day.

      This book boosted my confidence in school, and my love for art. This book is my favorite type of book, and I think it's an awesome book. The girl in it is a lot like me, and inspired me.

      I am a huge fun of Raina Telgemeier.So I like this story. I would like to have the book which has a lot of funny pictures. Do I get one from Amazon?
    • 3/5
      It was an okay-ish book but i felt there was something missing at all the end, like the book wasn’t completely finished. Though the Katy thing was smart I didn’t really understand what happened to her at the end .
      Over all I would give this 3/5
    • 3/5
      That was cute ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
    • 4/5
      Not bad at all very nicely done but I feel like the end was missing something although I like the fact that it had a mash up of two people one very shy and the other more open and talkative would recommend for people who are having trouble with middle school or even high school but overall I’d give it a 8/10 would recommend for all the books from the author
    • 4/5
      I’ve been on a graphic novel kick, and have wanted to read this book since I saw it on the Scholastic book fair preview DVD. I finally got my hands on it and it was worth the wait! I absolutely loved the alternating chapters between two characters. This one has also been brought into school to be passed around the Upper Elementary students!
    • 5/5
      Very good book would recommend to kids having trouble with middle school
    • 3/5
      This plot was not very unique, but the Diary of a Wimpy Kid feel/format will probably appeal to a lot of young readers.
    • 3/5
      Slow beginning, casts a bad light on 'popular' girls, ending patchy and doesn't make great sense, but I can see how middle school girls would really enjoy it and find it relatable.
    • 4/5
      This is a very fun book. I liked how it is written in 2 different points of view. It does touch on something that most middle school students go through, boys and being picked on. Great book.
    • 4/5
      This books was simply fabulous. It was lighthearted, big hearted, and full of real feelings and emotions. The mix of comics, illustrations, and paragraphs was a perfect mix to tell this story. Emmie fells invisible. She has no feelings about it, until she is thrust into the spotlight over a small mistake. But this mistake will cause big changes in both Emmie and her school mates. A delightful read, and I can't wait to read the sequel.#LittenLoveBingo #Greatfirstline#NancyDrewChallenge #lotofblueonthecover#KillYourTBR #nameintitle
    • 3/5
      I enjoyed this mixed media exploration of insecurities and owning oneself. Would recommend along the lines of Smile and El Deafo.
    • 2/5
      A dull story that goes on way too long with a totally unnecessary twist ending that doesn't really make sense.
    • 4/5
      I really enjoyed this book. At first, I was confused by the characters of Emmie and Katie, so I did need to reread the first few chapters. Katie is pretty unlikeable, even when we learn a little more about her; she's a very shallow character and hard to relate to. Definitely didn't see the ending coming and will not give any spoilers away. Really liked it!*I received this copy from the publisher in return for an honest, unbiased review.*
    • 4/5
      This novel is one of those mash-up novels--it has paragraphs and reads like a novel, but there are also drawings in a comic book style. It is realistic fiction Emmie is very quiet and feels anxious being around people, particularly school. Emmie has two older siblings, but they have already moved out and have started their own lives, making Emmie almost an only child. Her parents have basically been more hands off with Emmie but love her and pay attention to her. She loves to draw and finds solace and escape by drawing. She does have one girl with whom she finds friendship even though she’s a bit bossy. Emmie hides by putting her head down as she walks and as she sits at a desk. People don’t talk to her because she doesn’t act like she wants to be talked to. She also has a crush on a boy; her best friend says that she should write him a note. As a joke, they write silly love notes to the boys they like. Emmie’s note falls and the bully finds it. He proceeds to make life miserable for Emmie. It when she’s teased by this boy that Katie takes notice and wants to help. Katie is the second character who is also nice, but ridiculously popular. People let her to the front of the line in the bathroom. Everyone wants to sit with her, and she’s always surrounded by admirers. Obviously, she seems to be too good to be true, but you’ll find yourself liking her because she’s likeable! My favorite panel is when Katie says, “Some people call me lucky, but I work hard for everything I have.” Often people think others have “it” so easy. Life takes effort. The four panels following her statement show how she works--she practices her sport, she studies, she takes care of her skin, and she maintains relationships by texting and talking with her friends regularly. This advice is true and good. Care for yourself; care for others; and, take care of business. I really like that both characters treat people well. The bullies are stereotypical side characters, but they are present to show how a tween should react in school instead of being bullied. It’s a great story to show readers that it is okay to speak up for yourself. There are a lot of nice people; don’t let students scare you. Find good, kind people and you’ll enjoy middle school.
