Editorial Reviews

Reviews of EMILY THE STRANGE: THE LOST DAYS: “Emily’s unabashed self-acceptance and individualism speaks to tweens and teens who exist outside the mainstream, and her message is one of empowerment for all young women. The narrative is smart, sarcastic, and thoroughly entertaining. The plot’s twists and turns, outlandish characters, and clever creativity will keep readers riveted. Illustrations add detail and witty touches. This offering will please established Emily devotees while winning over new supporters.”—School Library Journal On-line “There’s no doubting the lighthearted but darkly hued creativity on display, nearly always sacrificing sense for strangeness. Pure black gold.”— - ALA Booklist
“A highly enjoyable read that will appeal to both readers new to the series and Emily fans alike.”— - School Library Journal

Reviews of EMILY THE STRANGE: STRANGER AND STRANGER: “A dark delight. Fans of the first book and newcomers alike will thoroughly enjoy the zaniness and clamor for more.”— - School Library Journal
“The book dresses up teen-identity issues in midnight-black humor and piles on so much persistent weirdness that oddball outsiders, goths in training, and other subversive types will find themselves positively smirking with glee.”— - ALA Booklist
