before the troubling event, kids seem to Emmie like one-dimensional terrifying creatures who can be defined by just one word: popular, brainy, stinky (according to Emmie), nerdy, cute, etc. I suppose she learns that kids in middle school aren't always what they seem. And she's forced to go through a very rough day at school and face some of her fears. She has one close friend who goes to the same school, and when they're not together, she's pretty much drawing a lot and trying to blend in with the scenery.Īnd then something happens that brings her quite a bit of unwanted attention. She goes through her days at school doing her best to avoid attention. And then something happens that brings her quite a bit of unwanted attention. She has one close friend who goes to the same school, and when they're not together, she's pretty much drawing a lot and trying to blend in with the scenery. I can totally relate! I even do that now sometimes. Inside though, she's teeming with observations and artistry, and secretly longs to be like the ever popular Katie, who naturally smells of "rainbow goodness" even after sweaty gym class. She takes solace in being the invisible girl in school.

yippee.īottom line: this is a next-level quick read, but also you should read essentially any other middle grade novel before this one.moreĪ graphic novel after my own heart! Where were these books when I was in middle school, hiding out in the library during lunch? It reminded me so much of the movie Sixteen Candles, which had such a special place in my heart when I discovered it at the age of thirteen. The ending made up for some of the other stuff i previously disliked about this book, though, so. this book is literally exclusively about one girl's path to self-acceptance, even as that girl is really garbage to those around her? constantly making fun of people for smelling bad, acting a certain way, the way they look. also there's this weird thing in the prologue where someone's made fun of for "ha some kind of disability." which is so next-level f*cked up that it's impossible to make excuses for.Īlso, not a lot of general acceptance for a middle school book. like, a lot of body shaming? b/c you're never too young to learn that your societal worth is based on the weight of your flesh prison. this book is literally exclusively about one girl's path to s there's a lot of weird stuff going on in this book. also, not a lot of general acceptance for a middle school book. also there's this weird thing in the prologue where someone's made fun of for "ha some kind of disability." which is so next-level f*cked up that it's impossible to make excuses for. Keeping legenday furniture just seems like a deathwish, because its raises wealth so much fo so little added benefit.There's a lot of weird stuff going on in this book. The only non-violent I've let live has 19 in construction and I have him make cloth arms chairs to sell to a nearby town. But I just called in a caravan and I didn't want it killed/flee.)Īnd nah, none of the 3 no violent's are crafters or any good at it. I didn't think they'd destroy them so fast. (Also lost two turrets recently when my arid grassland base (Nearly a desert) was attacked by Arctic foxes of all things. They were killed around colony day 85 -95 when the caravan was ambushed by 2 man eating chinchillas. Mainly I wanted them running the caravans so thier worth wasn't added to the colony's total worth, and to carry all the valuables away to keep the colony wealth as low as possible. I ended up using the model with muffalos just to run near non-stop caravan to cities, Later I added the non violent dr with the higher social skill to the group. One of them was a model so they could only social and art. Then the next three people are incapable of violent.
How funny.My newest colony, lone traveler start with randy.
