Emily may be odd, but she always gets even!Meet Emily, the peculiar soul with long black hair, a wit of fire, and a posse of slightly sinister black cats. Famous for her barbed commentary and independent spirit, this rebel-child in black has spawned an Internet and merchandising phenomenon (Emily's Web site gets 35,000 hits per month!). Emily the Strange, her first book, captures the quintessential Emily, featuring her most beloved quips and a host of new ones. Anarchist, heroine, survivor, this little girl with a big personality appeals to the odd child in us all.

I liked the premise and I believe it could be a true bestseller if the creators had given the first book a decided plot rather than a "day in the life of Emily Strange" type of design.I could really grow to love this character but, she needs a clear destiny to capture my heart.Devlin
This tiny book gives only tantalising hints of what the peculiar persona of Emily the Strange is like...but it's a delight to look at. The design is wonderful, including the subtle text and images that can only be seen because of differences in the reflectivity of the inks used.
