Happy Wednesday! It's another beautiful day out there! Enjoy it! Waiting on Wednesday features Invisible Isabel by Sally J. Pla. I adored Ms. Pla's debut, The Someday Birds and her most recent novel, The Fire, the Water and Maudie McGinn, which won a Schneider Family Book Award this past January. You won't have to wait long for this one. It publishes next Tuesday, July 9.
Publisher synopsis: From award-winning author Sally J. Pla comes an illustrated middle grade novel about introverted Isabel Beane, who learns to speak up to quiet her worries. This thoughtful, earnest story is perfect for fans of Elana K. Arnold and Leslie Connor.
Isabel Beane is a shy girl who lives in a home full of havoc and hubbub and hullabaloo. With five siblings, there is always too much too much-ness.
At school, there’s a new girl who is immediately popular, but she’s also not very nice to one person—Isabel.
Isabel has never felt more invisible. She begins to get bombarded by fears, like being abandoned by her classmates and taking the upcoming Extremely Important standardized test. Her fears feel like worry-moths that flutter in her belly. With every passing day, they seem to get stronger and stronger. How can Invisible Isabel make people listen?
