Join Emily Sparkes for laugh-out-loud observations about life, parents and how to handle the grossest boys in the universe! Perfect for fans of Cathy Cassidy and Dork Diaries.

It's school play season, and Emily Sparkes has landed herself a starring role . . . not. In fact, it's the most HUMILIATING role in the history of all time - even worse than the time she was cast as a duck. (Quack, quack.)

Emily's friends Chloe (pretty much a Hollywood-star-to-be, daahling) and Zuzanna are very excited. Partly because, for the first time ever, they'll be performing in a gala at the local theatre like proper actors!

But things take a turn for the worse when they meet the other school who'll be performing. The girls from Mag Hall have a history with Chloe that seems a bit mysterious. It's going to take some real Emily Sparkes creativityness to get to the bottom of things!

"I laughed and laughed at Emily Sparkes! She's like a younger Georgia Nicolson' - Susie Day, author of Pea's Book of Best Friends

A fun read, with plenty of humour, written with understanding and a very evident affection
