Katie MacAlister’s Emily series is a collection of eight young adult books published between 2000 and 2005. The series follows a teenage protagonist through humorous situations, including trips to Europe and the awkwardness of growing up. Titles like The Year My Life Went Down The Loo and They Wear WHAT Under Their Kilts? give a clear sense of the series’ lighthearted, comedic tone.
MacAlister is primarily known for her adult paranormal romance novels, but the Emily books show a different side of her writing. The series is aimed at younger readers and leans on diary-style narration and fish-out-of-water humor. Books like Life, Love, and the Pursuit of Hotties round out the series with the same mix of teen drama and comedy that runs through all eight entries.
