Overview
Meet Emily, the sharp-tongued, black-cat-loving outsider whose diary-style adventures have made her a cult favorite among teen readers. This four-book hardcover collection follows Emily as she pieces together lost memories, questions a shadowy cloning conspiracy, travels back in time to protect her family's legacy, and steps into her own future in the town of Blackrock. Written by Rob Reger and Jessica Gruner, the series blends moody, collage-style visuals with a defiant, funny narrative voice, perfect for fans of quirky heroines and mystery-laced coming-of-age stories. Each hardcover volume continues Emily's story while standing on its own for new readers.

About the Books
The Emily the Strange novels grew out of the popular Emily the Strange character and merchandise line, translating her rebellious, dark-humored persona into a four-book series for teen readers. Told largely through diary entries, sketches, and lists, the books immerse readers in Emily's idiosyncratic worldview as she investigates the mysteries surrounding her hometown of Blackrock and her own fractured memory. The Lost Days introduces Emily as she wakes up with holes in her memory and a strange inheritance to untangle. Stranger and Stranger complicates her world with questions of identity and duplication. Dark Times sends her backward through time to protect the people she loves from a looming threat. Piece of Mind closes out the arc as Emily confronts invention, self-discovery, and the true nature of her powers. Across all four books, Reger and Gruner maintain Emily's signature blend of sarcasm, independence, and curiosity, while the hardcover format and heavily illustrated pages preserve the character's distinctive collage-and-doodle aesthetic. The set works well both as an introduction for new readers and as a complete, shelf-ready collection for longtime fans who want every title in one matching hardcover edition. Readers who enjoy strong-willed, unconventional heroines and stories that mix mystery with dark comedy will find plenty to love across these four books, each building on the last while keeping Emily's voice consistent from cover to cover.

About the Authors
Rob Reger is the artist and creator behind the Emily the Strange character, which began as artwork on skateboards and stickers before growing into books, comics, and merchandise. Jessica Gruner is a writer who co-authored the novel series with Reger, helping shape Emily's distinctive diary-style voice across all four books.
