Publisher Description
It’s double trouble when Emily accidentally duplicates herself! What at first looks like the best thing to ever happen to her—two Emilys means half the time in school for each, and twice the mischief, right?—soon turns sinister. Are the two Emilys experiencing growing pains, or are they fundamentally…different from each other?
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 as satisfying as it is unique.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Merchandising icon Emily the Strange no stranger to T-shirts, accessories and Hot Topic stores becomes much more three-dimensional in this novel from creator Reger and coauthor Gruner (the pair has also written Emily comic books). Designed to look like Emily's ever-present notebook, the book opens as the 13-year-old finds herself in the very beige town of Blackrock, with no memories of who she is, how she got there or if she has any family ("Got myself so worked up into fake-missing people who might not even exist that I even cried a little fake tear"). She gleans clues to her identity (such as an affinity for fixing machines) and gets caught up in a power struggle over control of the town, before discovering her connection to Blackrock (with some missteps and memory-related restarts along the way). Emily's diary-style narrative includes plenty of lists and her verbal quirks ("Flathering bogyarks") are amusing. But it's her sarcastic, nerdy individualism with a hint of buried sweetness that will make readers want to spend more time with her. Ages 12 up.
