HarperTeen: Emily the Strange | The Books
HarperTeen — Your World. Your Books.


With her trademark black hair, black eyes, and black attitude, Emily the Strange is anticool, a subculture of one, and a follower of no one but herself. Just thirteen-years-old, Emily is a mad scientist, a cat lover, and a rock guitarist whose message to readers is that your greatest strength lies in being yourself.

In her first adventure, Emily arrives in the small, sinister town of Blackrock. Armed with only a blank notebook and a slingshot, she has no memory of how she got there, who she is, or even of her own name. The story that follows in Emily’s first-person narrative is part mystery, part adventure, and wholly, delightfully strange.
