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. 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 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?

0Really beautiful, moving book about a girl who has lots of worries and stomach aches. Her parents work to convince her it's all in her head, until she gets a really bad stomach ache, and isn't really able to tell the difference between the two.
Great introduction to anxiety/neuro-divergent issues... good for 3rd graders +.
