Synopsis
In this illustrated middle grade novel by Schneider Award-winning author Sally J. Pla, introverted Isabel Beane learns how she can speak up to help quiet the worries she feels.
Isabel Beane is a shy girl who lives in a home full of havoc and hubbub and hullabaloo. With five siblings, there is too much too much-ness.
At the same time, there’s a new girl at school who is immediately popular, but she’s also not very nice to one person—Isabel.
Isabel has never felt more invisible.
She has so many fears: being abandoned by her old friends at school, having to speak to strangers in public, taking the upcoming Extremely Important standardized test.
Her fears feel like worry-moths that flutter in her belly.
With every passing day, it seems like they get stronger and stronger.
How can Invisible Isabel make people listen?
