Emily Sparkes and the Backstage Blunder: Book 4
Ruth Fitzgerald
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
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!
Reviews

I thought this was a fun, chatty, funny book. I thought it was very realistic and I liked how it was almost written like a diary. I would recommend to girls aged 9+

It was really funny and I think the best part was when Emily had to be a reindeer.

I thought this book was absolutely hilarious nonstop. Emily is like a younger Georgia Nicolson (you'll know her if you've read the amazing series by Louise Renninson). It's funny in all the right places and you are rooting for Emily. She has to be a rock and it is funny seeing how she copes. I recommend it for eight to eleven year old girls who like a laugh.
