Emoji: Laughing Crying: An emoji story
Ever wondered what emojis get up to when they're left to their own devices, instead of appearing on ours?
Of course you have! *high-five emoji*
Read all about their emoj-tional escapades inside these tales of love, loss, sass and selfies . . .
Laughing Crying loves to make his fellow emojis laugh. He posts unflattering pics of celebrity emojis on his blog, Bantz Bible, which everyone thinks is great fun - until they start appearing on it themselves. Soon, Laughing Crying finds himself in the middle of a Twimoji storm of moral outrage. Can he find a way to redeem himself, or will the angry mob have the last laugh-cry after all . . . ?

Following the success of Emojipedia in the school library I jumped at the chance to get my hands on stories that focus on emoji's. As soon as they hit the shelf one pupil labelled them as Mr Men books for a new generation lol.
The Emoji stories are very satirical in their delivery - something I am sure is going to go over the heads of most teens. The books themselves are all fun and attention grabbing with text speak and slang used throughout; although I did feel as if they all contained an underlining message particularly where social media and online presence is concerned.
Laughing Crying looks at the fine line between banter and spite, cyber bullying and internet trolls. As well as the price of popularity alongside the permanence of internet posts.
Sassy Girl shows the line between being confident and assertive to being rude and intrusive. The other emoji's featured within Sassy Girl where extreme caricature of the emotions they were portraying, adding to the personification of the emoji while aiding in the delivery of the underlying morale of the story.
Heart Eyes concentrates on the fickle nature of fandoms including invasive, stalkerish behaviour. As well as how quickly rumours surface and escalate whether true or false.
Pile of Poo looks at the way people are judged on their physical appearance as opposed to their personalities. Alongside the way in which marketing yourself can affect people's perceptions of who you are. There is certainly a lot of sarcasm woven into the narrative :D :D :D
