‘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 . . .

Reviews

Robin Stevens, author of Murder Most Unladylike (Wells and Wong Mysteries)
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!
Susie Day, author of Pea’s Book of Best Friends (Pea’s Book series)
I laughed and laughed at Emily Sparkes and the Friendship Fiasco! She's like a younger Georgia Nicolson.

I thought this was side-splittingly funny and very realistic. Emily Sparkes is someone I'd want to be friends with!

More satisfying than much junior chick-lit

Emily Sparkes is amazingly funny. I thought it was hilarious when Emily named her new baby sister Yoda!
