Book #1 in the Emma series
Emma's new school year is disrupted by a noisy, messy houseguest.
Emma McGraw's life is turned upside down when four-year-old Anthony moves in temporarily. Struggling with a new school and budding friendships, Emma finds Anthony's presence unbearable. But as the week unfolds, could this unexpected 'little brother' teach her something surprising about family and friendship?
Eight-year-old Emma McGraw is an only child who lives with her mom in their “cozy” condo. When four-year-old Anthony Scarpetto moves in for a week while his parents are away, Emma is not happy. He’s loud, he smells, and he touches her stuff. And that’s only half of it! Emma has started at a new school, and has finally begun to make friends. But how can she invite anyone over when annoying Anthony is there? Emma is in for a surprise, though. As the week goes by, she starts to realize that having a “little brother” may not be as bad as she thought.
