Inside Out 2 Read Along Storybook | Riley's New World

Inside Out 2. Riley's New World. Riley Anderson. Riley is officially a teenager, which means big changes. She got braces, outgrew her favorite shirt, and will soon be entering high school. Riley doesn't realize that even bigger changes are still to come. Grace and Bree. Luckily, Riley's two best friends are always by her side. Grace is a little goofy, while Bree is the quiet one. Grace and Bree share Riley's love of ice hockey, and together they help their team win the Junior League Championship. Valentina Ortiz. Riley's big win earns her an invitation to hockey camp, where she meets Valentina Ortiz. Valentina is the cool, confident captain of the varsity hockey team at Riley's high school. Val got on the varsity team when she was just a freshman. Riley doesn't know it, but she has another team close by, helping her manage the ups and downs of life. Five emotions live and work in Riley's headquarters. Their job is to protect Riley's sense of self. Joy. Joy keeps things running smoothly in headquarters. She inspires Riley to see the bright side of any situation. Joy helped tackle big challenges during Riley's first 12 years, and she is proud that Riley ended up happy and hopeful. Joy is sure she can help Riley succeed in her teen years, too. Sadness. Although sadness sometimes puts a damper on a good mood, this emotion keeps Riley in touch with her heart. Sadness often doubts herself, but she can always be counted on to save the day when Riley and the other emotions need her help. Anger. Anger will blow his stack if things aren't going well for Riley, but his hot-headed focus also helps Riley stay strong and confident when she needs to be like in the final seconds of a championship hockey game. Fear. Fear might be overprotective of Riley, but keeping her from getting hurt is his job. Fear is always watching out for anything that might harm Riley. He works to steer her clear of danger and keeps her prepared to face any problem safely. Disgust. Disgust is ready to help Riley conquer being a teen. In fact, she's been training for this moment most of Riley's life. After all, disgust has always been the one to alert Riley to anything cringey, gross, or uncool. But these five are not the only emotions who plan to help guide Riley through her teen years. Joy and the others are surprised when four new emotions arrive at headquarters. Anxiety. Anxiety has big plans for Riley. She's an expert at predicting everything that could go wrong in Riley's future. Anxiety believes her job is to make sure Riley does whatever it takes to be successful, even if that means changing her sense of self. Envy. To envy, there is always something better to do, better to be, or better to have. Envy helps Riley aim high and improve herself and her life. But sometimes envy makes Riley forget to be grateful for what she already has. Embarrassment. Embarrassment doesn't like being the center of attention, but it's hard not to notice him. Embarrassment keeps Riley humble, and even though he'd rather hide in his hoodie, he's always willing to help the other emotions do what's best for Riley. Ennui. Ennui's name means bored, and that's how she usually feels. She can't be bothered to get off the sofa to do her job. She uses a phone app instead. Ennui keeps Riley's enthusiasm under control by prompting her to scoff, shrug, and act like she doesn't care even if she does. Joy and Anxiety have different ideas about how to guide Riley through her teen years, but together they realize Riley needs all nine emotions to help her become her best self yet.
