This is a great book with interesting illistrations.
When you open this book, it's like you've stepped in Emily's dreams! I love all of them, if you read the book in the light ( as you probably would ) in almost each page you'll see little words, like when Emily goes in the carnevil ( get it? ) and it says scary go round instead of the famous mary go round. I like to read it when I can't sleep, it's like my bed time story. You can read it in about 3 minutes or less. It's a nice book that I love owning in my own Emily The Strange library. I had to get it when I went onto the website, and now I have it, and it's one of those books you'll never get bored reading, something that you'll read, and say, maybe I'll read it one more time! And you'll find yourself reading it over and over again. I like that when I read this, I can join my favorite, Emily The Strange of course.
I'm very happy that I have this book, and I think you'll be too.
By a 12 year old.

Emily The Strange, the stranger!

Very creative in a dark sort of way. Clever graphics and details. If you appreciate dark humor and love bold graphics, you'll love it.

In this book, Emily goes to a lot of different places, which allowed the illustrator to use all sorts of colors and techniques--cross-hatching, striping, watercolor, chalk (I think).

The story has really yummy, (goth) kid-friendly visuals, but there is very little plot or writing. But the way this book is drawn, you can probably ignore the text altogether and still be satisfied. It will take you seconds to read it, but much longer to look over and savor the pictures.

The book itself is also very small, a neat square shape that I could hold in my two adult hands, no sweat.
