Guys.
It. Is.
....
Well, strange.
And really, really fun.
Allow me to present the Amazon description:
"13 things you will find in the first Emily the Strange novel:
1. Mystery
2. A beautiful golem
3. Souped-up slingshots
4. Four black cats
5. Amnesia
6. Calamity Poker
7. Angry ponies
8. A shady truant officer
9. Top-13 lists
10. A sandstorm generator
11. Doppelgängers
12. A secret mission
13. Earwigs"
Yeah, not very informative. Yet very fitting for the story, which is about a girl who wakes up with amnesia in a little town in the middle of the desert called Blackrock, and her quest to recover her memories. The novel is presented as her notebook (complete with illustrations), so you get to learn about her as she learns about herself. And you get to read all her hilarious, snarky comments about everything.
Emily herself is an awesome character. Come to think of it, she's the classic anti-social genius homeschooler. And she's like that because she's tried to fit in with the rest of the world, finds it boring, and
prefers to spend time in her lab experimenting with explosives and time travel and snuggling her cats.
She doesn't remember that 'til the end of this book, but my sister's been reading the rest of the series and I've been hearing about it all week.
So, in short, Emily's awesomeness + the 13 things listed above = great read. And it was really clean too, which gives it lots of bonus points.
I believe that is all I have to say, chaps. A good day/night/morning/afternoon/other to you.
