Meet Emily, the 13-year-old with a wit of fire and a posse of slightly sinister black cats. Famous for her barbed commentary and independent spirit, this diminutive black, white, and red character has spawned an internet and merchandising phenomenon. Emily the Strange, her first book, captures the essential Emily, featuring her most beloved quips and host of new ones. So much more than a comic strip, this little girl with a big personality appeals to the odd child in us all.
