Truly Tyler

The fifth book in the best-selling Emmie & Friends series, *Truly Tyler* is a layered tale about finding your truest self and trusting your truest friends, exploring themes of middle school cliques, crushes, and peer pressure. The story stars both popular, basketball-playing Tyler and shy Emmie, who are paired up in art class to create their own comic book. The narrative switches between their perspectives over three weeks. As Tyler embraces his artistic side and spends time with Emmie, his friends and teammates begin to give him a hard time, making him wonder why he can't both "nerd out on drawing and play ball." Emmie is excited to work with her crush, but she feels his friends don't think she's cool enough, leading her to contemplate a total reinvention. The book, which features a mix of graphic novel and illustrated novel formats, includes Tyler and Emmie's final comic creation.
