Emma hates healthy food, Kate hates fresh air. Emma is wild and edgy, Kate is sleepy and nice. Though they couldn’t be more different, they are still like two peas in a pod. Emma's plans are clear: she wants to become a pirate captain. And Kate’s? She's perfect for an astronaut! But is she smart enough? Emma doesn't think so and she sets on a mission: she'll “make” Kate smart. But her ideas are colossally terrible, and the result is even more terrible.
A funny and silly young readers series with eccentric and bold heroine Emma who will attract even reluctant readers. Emma sees life in her own way and the lively interaction between two best friends will entertain all the Horrid Henry and Dennis the Menace fans around the world.
