Be Nice to Aunt Emma

Paperback

Kindness is key in this funny 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 …

Particularly suitable for readers aged 9+ with a reading age of 8.
