Books Included in This Collection:
Piece of Mind
Emily dives into her fourth adventure with a sprawling to-do list that threads through mind games, golems, secret vaults, and family legacies. This instalment blends wit with peril as she rescues a cousin, outsmarts shady figures, and stakes her claim on the family story, all while maintaining her irresistibly independent voice. The artwork stays true to the series’ signature black-and-red aesthetic, and the diary-style narration invites readers to laugh, puzzle, and root for Emily as she pushes against expectations.

Dark Times
In this time-bending installment, Emily reminds readers to think for themselves. She crafts a Time Out machine and travels back to the 18th century to uncover the truth behind a school assignment. History, mischief, and a dash of rebellion collide as Emily navigates a world where power dynamics and ideas collide. The brisk pacing and sharp visual storytelling make historical curiosity feel thrilling rather than didactic, preserving the series’ bite-sized, quotable humor throughout.

Stranger and Stranger
In this clever follow-up, Emily accidentally duplicates herself, triggering a tense and funny exploration of identity. Two Emilys share a diary of quirks, schemes, and mischief as they navigate overlapping lives and the consequences of duplication. The narrative toys with questions of individuality and belonging, all delivered in the series’ trademark monochrome-drawn panels and audacious voice that fans adore.

Lost Days
Lost Days drops readers into Emily’s everyday, science-loving world—she wears the same black dress, adores maths and science, and travels with four black cats as companions. The story bursts with Emily’s characteristic humor, clever gadgets, and a mission that fuses mystery with play. It’s a brisk, witty slice of her life, anchored by punk sensibilities and a love of discovery, with the same bold visuals that make the series instantly recognizable.
