Book excerpt: Emily--and her new band, the Strangers--won the battle of the bands and received a record contract with Awesomely Awesome Records, but can the girl who just figured out how to get along with her friends manage dealing with a major corporation? And what's the deal with the legions of stray cats around town? Emily the Strange creator Rob Reger reteams with cowriter Mariah Huehner (True Blood, Angel) and artist Cat Farris (Angry Birds) for a brand-new, full-color Emily the Strange story full of evil record companies, stray cat struts, science, and music!
