STRANGE LOVE Emily Book Signing in SF Feb 14 2010
 Celebrate Valentine's Day with Emily the Strange creators and Illustrators Rob Reger and Buzz Parker. Emily the Strange came to life in the early 1990s and quickly became a beloved counterculture icon all around the world. In her earliest years, she was a quiet but sharp-witted stranger, slinging philosophy and cultural observations in a series of hand-screened t-shirts and stickers. As her presence grew and became a standard in the cultural underground, Emily's own story began to emerge in a series of gift books, then comic-books and graphic novels, and now a novel series for young adults. This event is free and open to the public. Sweet treats will provided by From Scratch. The Hills Have Eyes ...for The ART of EMILY

Emily's Next Novel: Stranger And Stranger Preview
 from BOOKLIST: Emily the Strange: Stranger and Stranger Reger, Rob (Author) and Gruner, Jessica (Author) , Reger, Rob (Illustrator), Parker, Buzz (Illustrator) Mar 2010. 272 p. In The Lost Days (2009), Emily the Strange wakes up with a nasty case of amnesia and can't remember who she is. Now, she has managed to clone herself and can't tell which is the real her or, more importantly, which clone is evil. The book dresses up teen-identity issues in midnight-black humor and piles on so much persistent weirdness that oddball outsiders, goths in training, and other subversive types will find themselves positively smirking with glee. The diary-entry presentation--crammed full of lists, doodles, and staged dialogue--makes for a frenzied read, which will suit fans just fine. -Ian Chipman from SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL: Emily the Strange: Stranger and Stranger REGER, Rob & Jessica Gruner. illus. by Rob Reger & Buzz Parker. 272p. (Emily the Strange). HarperTeen. Jan. 2010. Emily the Strange, evil genius and skateboarder extraordinaire, has invented many things in her time–golems, working cat translators, great names for bands. But the duplication device may have been a mistake, especially when an accident produces an identical Emily. At first OtherMe is cool and useful, but it quickly becomes apparent that she is evil and will take over the world if not stopped. Emily's second journal, a sequel to The Lost Days (HarperCollins, 2009), is a dark delight, filled with all kinds of Strangeness: a broken leg, a Strange Manifesto that causes the entire town to go loony, an ex-spymaster neighbor, and an oddly understanding and absurdly patient mother, all described with demented wit and great relish, and accompanied by manga-style black-and-white cartoons. Does it all make sense? No, not really. Does it matter? Not at all. Fans of the first book and newcomers alike will thoroughly enjoy the zaniness and clamor for more. -Mara Alpert, Los Angeles Public Library
