The Emily the Strange novel series follows the adventures of its title character, a dark-haired, cat-loving teenager with a talent for science and a deep suspicion of conformity. The series begins with Lost Days, where Emily wakes up in a strange town with no memory of how she got there, and unfolds across four books that mix mystery, humor, and Emily’s signature weirdness.

Each novel is presented partly through Emily’s own journal entries, giving readers direct access to her offbeat observations and schemes. The books have a visual style that matches the character’s origins in graphic design, with illustrations and layouts that break from standard novel formatting. Fans of the Emily the Strange brand will recognize the tone, while newcomers get a self-contained introduction to the character.
