Synopsis

Witty, offbeat, and lavishly illustrated in black-and-red, in this irresistible and markedly singular diary, Emily the Strange grapples with a wicked case of amnesia while on a mysterious mission with her black cat posse. A collectable and gifty paper-over-board treat perfect for fans of Wednesday Addams! With her trademark black hair and spunky attitude, Emily the Strange is a follower of no one but herself. In her first adventure, Emily finds herself in the small, sinister town of Blackrock with no memory of how she got there, who she is, or even of her own name. Armed with only a blank notebook and a slingshot, but befriended by four black cats, can she puzzle out Blackrock’s hidden secret and how it connects to her own amnesia?Internationally known, and instantly recognizable, thirteen-year-old Emily is a mad scientist, a cat lover, and a rock guitarist whose unequivocal message is that your greatest strength lies in being yourself. Told in Emily’s inimitable first-person narrative, this quirky and irresistible tale is part mystery, part adventure, and wholly strange.

I feel like I just read a tween's diary. An angst tween. Still not sure really what the hell I just read but it was kind of interesting.......more
