Emily the Strange: Stranger and Stranger

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.
