Kindness is key in this funny new family drama from perennial bestseller and award-winning author Anne Fine.

There are many reasons why Tansy dreads Aunt Emma coming to visit. She’s rude, she’s boring, and Tansy has to give up her room so Aunt Emma can sleep there. And every year Dad makes Tansy promise to be nice – even when Aunt Emma is awful. But this year, when Tansy is left alone with Aunt Emma, she decides she’s going to be the nicest she’s every been – so sickly sweet that it’ll drive Aunt Emma crazy! Let the games begin … Kindness is key in this funny new family drama from perennial bestseller and award-winning author Anne Fine.

It's a book about girl called Tansy and she doesn't like her aunt Emma. But then it all changes. Nice book!

This book is fiction and I enjoyed reading it. My favourite character is Cleo who is Tansy's pet dog. At the end of this story, Cleo does a very stinky fart. I would recommend this book to somebody else who likes reading funny stories.

I found this book very interesting because Aunt Emma was nice when Tansy when her parents were there but she was always rude to Tansy when it was just her and Tansy. I thought it was very funny when they switched personalities and Tansy could be rude and Aunt Emma had to be nice. I liked how they made it into a game and they had fun playing it, like Aunt Emma used to play the game with Tansy's mum, just a bit different. My favourite person in the book was Aunt Emma because Tansy was surprised at the end of the book that Aunt Emma spoke nicely, instead of being rude like how she usually was. I would definitely recommend this book to someone else because this book is very funny.

I thought that the girl would have a new dog that her aunt bought. But she had hated her because aunt Emma is annoying so she was being very mischievous to Aunt Emma. I thought the girl was going to irritate for the rest of the day and her parents noticed that Aunt Emma was irritated a lot. I liked Aunt Emma a lot because she was funny and friendly. I would recommend it to somebody.
