![]() ![]() ![]() This fun story is told in the guise of Emily's diary, which is peppered with drawings, printouts, letters, and other great graphics. It takes all of Emily's talents and intelligence to outwit those who stand in the way of her birthright, and before the end, she is forced to contend with a few surprising twists and some young teens with powers of their own. Emily runs up against her archenemy (a Shady Uncle) and meets her generation's Bright Girl. It's up to Emily to use her intelligence and resourcefulness to solve the mystery of her own Black Rock. ![]() ![]() The only problem is, she doesn't know how to summon it and the manifestations of the previous 12 Dark Aunts can help only so much. So when I opened the latest Emily book, Emily the Strange: Piece of Mind (by Rob Reger and Jessica Gruner illustrated by Rob Reger and Buzz Parker), I was introduced to a whole new world.Įmily is a Dark Girl, but not just any Dark Girl, she's the 13th Dark Girl who has just turned 13! Now is the time for her to find her personal source of power, called Black Rock. Apparently I've been living under rock because I was completely unaware of Emily the Strange: her books, her website, her fans, and her connection with skateboarding. ![]()
