Emily is not your average thirteen year-old girl. She wears the same black dress every day. She loves maths and science. Her best friends are four black cats and she's into old rock and punk music. Emily is anything but typical and so is this exciting new series of novels about her life.
In her second adventure, Emily accidentally duplicates herself! Chronicled in her quirky diary entries and trademark black and red artwork, events quickly turn sinister. Is each copy of Emily perfect, or is each one fundamentally...strange?

Praise for Emily the Strange - Lost Days
I had only heard of Emily The Strange in passing, and didn't really know much about the books, comics, or product line. However, I'm already in love with the character and the way the stories are told. It reminds me of a very intelligent version of Greg Heffley from the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, except that instead of it being almost entirely graphic novel, it's part novel, part graphics, and part a whole bunch of other interesting stuff.
Amazon Review
This has quickly become one of my new favorite books, and I've recommended it to several people already. It's a great read for anyone with an afternoon free, but its target age will be 9-13 year olds.
