Super Emma
Emma McGraw may be a bit shy, but when someone’s being teased, she’s the first one to defend them. So when Jared Matthews keeps picking on EllRay Jakes, Emma can’t hold back. “Quit it, you big bully!” she yells.
But the results aren’t exactly what she hoped for. EllRay is embarrassed to be rescued by a girl, kids are calling her “Super Emma,” and now Jared is picking on her! He’s even threatening to “trash her”--whatever that means. Who’s going to get poor Emma out of this fix? Her mother? Her teacher? Or maybe will have to live up to her new name, after all.
Following in the entertaining footsteps of ONLY EMMA and NOT-SO-WEIRD EMMA, SUPER EMMA’S smart heroine is sure to appeal to many young readers.
Wonderful illustrations by Jamie Harper!

Children’s Literature
“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.”
School Library Journal
“Emma McGraw’s back! With the delightful first-person narrative Emma’s fans have come to expect with this welcome series, they all know just how Emma feels when all eyes, especially the bully’s, are on her. Emma is a character complicated enough to question herself, make mistakes and triumph in the end.”
