Emily the Strange is thirteen, wears exclusively black dresses, and could probably conquer the world. If she felt like it. She is more likely to be found cuddling with her four black cats, building some sort of strange and possibly sinister device, booby-trapping and sunproofing her room, conducting some sort of experiment in her bedroom/laboratory, pranking whatever town she is living in this month, skateboarding, prowling around town in the middle of the night, rocking out on the guitar, creating a golem out of a Tasmanian devil, or writing in her journal. Her most recent life motto is "Nothing ruins (insert anything good) like OTHER PEOPLE. She has been told that she has Evil Overlordish tendencies and she hates the sun. THIS IS AN AWESOME BOOK EMILY IS umm, STRANGE!!! READ IT AND LAUGH! LOVE THE CATS! Emily would not win an Evil Genius contest due to being overqualified,and anyway she would have better things to do.
