Zoe, one of the most popular girls in the seventh grade, suddenly starts becoming friendly to Bri and wanting to hang out. Bri’s parents, who are divorced but who usually get along, are fighting. The pressure continues as the big day nears. When Emmie starts spending time with another girl, Bri’s mom asks if it bothers her Bri says it doesn’t, but then she concedes that yes, it actually does. She has girl issues at school, too: She likes a boy named Anthony but won’t admit it. Bri has to do some catching up on that, because she went to science camp when her friends went to Hebrew lessons at the synagogue.īrianna is feeling the pressure. It involves writing and giving a speech, plus months of counseling and Hebrew lessons. That makes it that much more surprising when Bri surrenders to her mother’s not-so-subtle pressure to become a bat mitzvah. She’s the “brainy” one, while Emmie is artistic neither enjoys being the center of attention. Brianna Davis was introduced in Book Two, “Positively Izzy,” and is Emmie’s best friend. “Becoming Brianna” is fourth in the “Emmie and Friends” series of graphic novels for middle-grade readers by Cleveland author Terri Libenson.
