Join Emily Sparkes for hilarious observations about life, parents and how to handle the grossest boys in the universe! Perfect for fans of Cathy Cassidy and Dork Diaries. Now shortlisted for the Scholastic Laugh Out Loud Book Award (The Lollies).
‘Lots of fun and a really cool read!’ – Cathy Cassidy
Emily Sparkes thinks having your best friend move to Wales at the same time as your parents decide to have a new baby is probably more trauma than anyone should have to cope with. But things go from bad to worse when she’s paired with revolting Gross-Out Gavin for the school trip! Emily is determined to escape him, and when glamorous new girl Chloe Clarke turns up it seems her prayers might be answered.
Unfortunately, everyone has gone Chloe Clarke mad and Emily finds her ‘sworn enemy’ Zuzanna has had the same idea. Getting and keeping Chloe as a friend proves a lot more troublesome than Emily anticipated and leads her into a whole new set of disasters . . .

Interesting ideas to think about friends

I thought it was funny and the friendships were a fiasco. I have read someone’s day to day life at school and a bit at home and done ways to solve it. It was a fiction story and I liked zuzanna the best because of her sharp attitude and great personality. I would recommend it to anyone above the age of 7 and below the age of 14

I really enjoyed this book because it was such a nice story about Emily's best friend Bella moving and a new girl called Chloe getting her seat! Zuzana, Emily's worst enemy, also wants to be friends with Chloe. But in a cake contest at School, Emily and Zuzana discover Chloe is a cheat and a liar...

I enjoyed reading this book because it was set in a school and lots of books have nothing to do with school. I liked Emily and Zuzanna best because at the beginning they were worst enemies but at the end they were friends. I didn't expect that two people both lose their best friends. I would recommend this book to people who enjoy books that are all about friendships.

I loved the first Emily sparkes I found It funny and some bits even annoying but in a good way.I love Emily and zuzanna. I also liked the sound of Bella and her goat they sound very funny!One of my favourite parts was when Emily thought her parents would go to prison if they didn't name the baby,that made me laugh. I thought that Chloe was one of those really posh and rich girls at the start but,by the end I knew she made up everything from two swimming pools to a butler to a really big house. I was supprised when I found out that her butler was actually her mum it was a bit silly but it made me giggle. I would recommend this book to one of my friends Daisy I think she would like it!

This book is fiction and in the first person. It has 307 pages and took me around 2 or 3 evenings to read. My favourite character was Zuzanna who the main character did not like at the start but turned out to be nice. I would recommend this to ages 7+.
