Emily the Strange: the Lost Days by Rob Reger and Jessica Gruner

I must confess, I LOVE EMILY! I love her sarcasm, her attitude, her unflagging pessimism, her love of cats. This is not the graphic novel about Emily, but there are drawings and highlights in the story.

In this story, she becomes conscious in a strange town, on a park bench. She doesn't know who she is, why she is on the bench or where the bench is located. Practical girl, she starts making a list of things she's doesn't know and things she does. So begins the adventure of the girl who always wears black and likes the number 13.

A book for all of us who secretly wish we could wear black all the time...
