Review: "There's no doubting the lighthearted but darkly hued creativity on display. Pure black gold."----ALA Booklist

"[Emily's] sarcastic, nerdy individualism--with a hint of buried sweetness--will make readers want to spend more time with her."--Publishers Weekly

"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."----ALA Booklist

"A highly enjoyable read that will appeal to both readers new to the series and Emily fans alike."----School Library Journal
