Bookroo's summary

Emmie is thrilled to collaborate on a comic with her crush, Tyler, but his friends' judgment makes her question her identity. Meanwhile, Tyler struggles to balance his love for art with his basketball commitments. As they navigate the pressures of middle school cliques and self-expression, both must decide if staying true to themselves is worth the risk. Will Emmie reinvent herself to fit in, or will Tyler find a way to embrace both passions? Dive into a tale of friendship, creativity, and the courage to be authentic.

From the publisher

A story about being your truest self–and trusting your truest friends–from bestselling author Terri Libenson. Perfect for fans of Raina Telgemeier and Shannon Hale. Cliques. Crushes. Comics. Middle school. Ever since Tyler started getting into art and hanging out with Emmie, his friends and teammates have been giving him a hard time. He wonders why can’t he nerd out on drawing and play ball? Emmie is psyched that she gets to work on a comics project with her crush, Tyler. But she gets the feeling that his friends don’t think she’s cool enough. Maybe it’s time for a total reinvention. . . . Don’t miss the rest of the Emmie & Friends series: Invisible Emmie, Positively Izzy, Just Jaime, Becoming Brianna, and You-Niquely You: An Emmie & Friends Interactive Journal!
