Emmie & Friends: Becoming Brianna: A Graphic Novel

New York Times bestseller! Terri Libenson returns with another endearing, relatable story of
friendship and finding confidence. Perfect for fans of Raina
Telgemeier and Jennifer L. Holm.

Middle school is full of challenges.

Everyone knows how much brainy Bri likes the spotlight
(not). So why did she ever agree to something that forces her to learn a new
language, give a speech, help organize a party, and juggle drama at school and
home?! As the big event inches closer, Bri wonders if it’s all worth it. . . .

Told in alternating past and present chapters, Bri’s
heartwarming story unfolds over the eight months leading up to her bat mitzvah—as
well as over the course of the big day itself.
