Super Emma (Emma series)
CRITICS HAVE SAID
- This third adventure in the series once again portrays the plucky young heroine struggling with conflict resolution and the social issues that many children face. A smattering of whimsical black-and-white illustrations helps to move the story along.
–Debbie Lewis O - This is an honest portrayal of everyday life for many elementary school children and it is told with a sense of humor that will have the reader rooting for Emma. With the recent emphasis given to the bullying problem in numerous schools across the country, this book offers a simple and sensible solution.
–Children
- Emma is a character complicated enough to question herself, make mistakes and triumph in the end.
