Description
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.

The illustrations are what really tell the story in this graphic novel. There are few words and little dialog, but the wit and sarcasm of Emily, a character with decidedly different tastes, is clear.

Meet Emily, the 13-year-old with a wit of fire and a posse of slightly sinister black cats.
A comic book classic, but I couldn't really see what all the fuss was about.
