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 ...
"This book had me in stitches, I laughed so much ... there is a real sense of family and lost memories in this book which want to be re-lived I found this very heart-warming ... perfect for all young readers and will have them smiling inside and out" -- Emma Suffield
"Packs an awful lot of fun into a very short read" -- Mrs Sydney's Famous World's Smallest Library
"A rather fun and endearing story ... accompanied by some frankly brilliant artwork by Gareth Conway ... he's managed to make even the most ordinary moments look dynamic and full of fun" -- Trans-scribe, Blog
