Emily the Strange: 13 years old. Able to leap tall buildings, probably, if she felt like it. More likely to be napping with her four black cats; or cobbling together a particle accelerator out of lint, lentils, and safety pins; or rocking out on drums/ guitar/saxophone/zither; or painting a swirling feral sewer mural; or forcing someone to say "swirling feral sewer mural" 13 times fast . . . and pointing and laughing.

Reviews:
“A highly enjoyable read that will appeal to both readers new to the series and Emily fans alike.”— — School Library Journal

“There’s no doubting the lighthearted but darkly hued creativity on display. Pure black gold.”— — ALA Booklist

“The book dresses up teen-identity issues in midnight-black humor and piles on so much persistent weirdness that oddball outsiders, goths in training, and other subversive types will find themselves positively smirking with glee.”— — ALA Booklist

“[Emily’s] sarcastic, nerdy individualism—with a hint of buried sweetness—will make readers want to spend more time with her.” — Publishers Weekly

Reviews of EMILY THE STRANGE: STRANGER AND STRANGER: “A dark delight. Fans of the first book and newcomers alike will thoroughly enjoy the zaniness and clamor for more.”— — School Library Journal
