Emelyn and her three BFFs spread positive messages to fight back against bullying.
Someone is writing mean messages about Emelyn and other kids in her grade on pieces of paper and sticking them to lockers and bathroom walls. When Emelyn discovers a classmate hiding in the bathroom crying about the mean words written about her, Emelyn brings this problem to The Invincible Girls. Together, they decide to fight the negativity with positivity!
Emelyn, Laura, Ruby, and Myka spread words of kindness and cheerful images all over the place to cancel out the negative ones. But they keep running into speed bumps along the way—and Emelyn isn’t sure she’s the right person to lead the charge. Can the girls help stop the bullying in their school? And can Emelyn ultimately find her own voice?
Rachele Alpine is a lover of binge watching reality TV, dogs, knitting, gummy peaches, and lots and lots of coffee!
One of her first jobs was at a library, but it didn't last long, because all she did was hide in the third-floor stacks and read. Now she's a little more careful about when and where she indulges her reading habit.
By day she's a high school English teacher, by night she's a mom and wife, and she writes during any time she can find in between!
Rachele lives with her husband and son in Cleveland, Ohio, but dreams of moving back to Boston, the city she fell in love with while attending graduate school there.
This book series is incredible for growing girls in elementary and middle school, it's all about empathy, empowerment, respect and confidence it's honestly one of my favourite books I read growing up!
Cute story, but I really like the back matter. There are 10 short profiles of women artists from diverse backgrounds and a long list of kind art project suggestions. The brief lie about a sprained ankle seemed a weird inclusion not quite in keeping with the wholesome vibe of the story, but it's overall a story of positive discussions and decisions.
