About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts expressing a sense of being an outsider, or when they find beauty in the strange, dark, and unconventional. This is a perfect choice for the pre-teen who is moving away from mainstream stories and looking for a character who champions solitude and self-reliance. While it may look spooky, it is actually a celebration of individuality and the power of a unique perspective. In this installment, Emily the Strange invites readers into her world of optical illusions and surreal puzzles. The book functions as both a narrative and an interactive art piece, utilizing clever die-cuts and visual tricks to challenge how we see the world. It reinforces the idea that it is okay to be different and that having a singular, even 'sullen' point of view is a creative strength rather than a social failing.
