Emelyn is dismayed to find out that someone has put up pictures and mean messages about students in the school. She is especially concerned because one of those messages was about her! Emelyn works with her friends and the grown ups in her life to find a solution to this bullying at school. 

Book 2 in the Invincible Girls Club series, this can be read as a stand-alone. A highlight of the book is the way that Emelyn and her friends look to each other and the trusted grown ups in their lives to solve their very real problems, demonstrating how they, and hopefully all of us, can be invincible in the face of difficulties. Additionally, the book ends with multiple short biographical sketches of women who have shown their own ways of being invincible.
