She doesn’t know who she is and why she stays at the strange town which is very small called Blackrock. She forgot her name, so she renames herself as Earwig.

This book is really interesting book, because of its strange and funny story, it make me can’t stop reading it. And the cover and the pages are great, and the story is darkly comedic. Except the story the most things that attract me is the illustration in it, and it is the most characteristic in this book. Emily is not really “strange”, she is so unique. I think Emily’s individualism and uniqueness stand out, and she is simply a girl refuses to live her life as expected. But I think this book is not good for young people t see it, because in the book is too many dark side and something is not good in it. In the end I still think it an interesting book and very attract me.
