“There’s no doubting the lighthearted but darkly hued creativity on display. Pure black gold.” - ALA Booklist
“A highly enjoyable read that will appeal to both readers new to the series and Emily fans alike.” - School Library Journal
“[Emily’s] sarcastic, nerdy individualism—with a hint of buried sweetness—will make readers want to spend more time with her.” - Publishers Weekly
“Emily’s unabashed self-acceptance and individualism speaks to tweens and teens who exist outside the mainstream, and her message is one of empowerment for all young women. The narrative is smart, sarcastic, and thoroughly entertaining. The plot’s twists and turns, outlandish characters, and clever creativity will keep readers riveted. Illustrations add detail and witty touches. This offering will please established Emily devotees while winning over new supporters.” - School Library Journal
