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. The first Emily book has been shortlisted for the Scholastic Laugh Out Loud Book Award (The Lollies).
‘Lots of fun and a really cool read!’ – Cathy Cassidy
Emily Sparkes might have found herself a new best friend and avoided humiliation at the hands of the grossest boy in the universe, but now her creativityness has landed her in a whole new world of trouble . . .
Emily has absolutely accidentally entered her mother into a competition to find the nation’s Mum in a Million. So when Mrs Sparkes is shortlisted, Emily is more shocked than anyone! Desperate not to be publicly humiliated on TV, she has to come up with a plan for a mum makeover. Because her eco-warrior, allotment-loving, generally horrendously embarrassing parent can’t make her star appearance in a granddad-cap and wellies – can she?
Oh. And Chloe Clarke comes back. Need we say more?

I have read the first Emily Sparkes book and really LOVE it . . . it's lots of fun and a really cool read!
Utterly hilarious and utterly relatable, Ruth Fitzgerald just gets all of the awful problems associated with being eleven years old. Everything in Emily Sparkes's life is a crisis, and each crisis is funnier than the last. Bring on the next book!
I laughed and laughed at Emily Sparkes and the Friendship Fiasco! She's like a younger Georgia Nicolson.
Lots to appeal to fans of Cathy Cassidy and Dork Diaries in this funny new series
More satisfying than much junior chick-lit
Once you start reading this book you won't be able to put it down. It's true to life and very funny. Emily Sparkes is everyone's dream best friend!
I thought this was side-splittingly funny and very realistic. Emily Sparkes is someone I'd want to be friends with!
Emily Sparkes is amazingly funny. I thought it was hilarious when Emily named her new baby sister Yoda!
Emily Sparkes is my new favourite character. She made me laugh a lot!
With cool illustrations and doodles, this is a fun read
