Paperback. Like new condition. From the back cover: "We all know Emily the Strange is the world's weirdest thirteen-year-old, but do you have any idea how that came to be? Would you believe that Emily wasn't always the curious and confident stranger we know today? For any girl, a thirteenth birthday is a big deal, and that's doubly true of Emily. Emily doesn't know it yet, but a surprise gift from a long-lost aunt ismore than just a family heirloom - it also holds the key to unlocking the mystery of her lineage and the secrets of her fate!
