But as a mom (and former middle school student in the dark ages), she knows these things happen. But Emmie is a main character who is simply quiet and unremarkable, neither bullied or popular, but simply invisible. Told in alternating past and present chapters, Becoming Brianna unfolds over the eight months leading up to one eventful day-as well as over the course of the big day itself.As a Type A perfectionist, Terri Libenson hates to admit that she has any ex-friends. Just Jaime introduces us to two friends, Maya and Jaime, on their last day of seventh grade and just maybe the last day of their friendship if they can’t figure out who is a real friend and who is a frenemy. On the day of the school talent show, the girls’ lives converge in ways more dramatic than either of them could have imagined. In Positively Izzy, we meet Bri, the brain, and Izzy, the dreamer. Invisible Emmie is the story of quiet, shy, artistic Emmie and popular, outgoing, athletic Katie, and how their lives unexpectedly intersect one day, when an embarrassing note falls into the wrong hands.
