When twelve-year-old Lily moves to the sleepy seaside town of Edge, she's sure that nothing exciting is ever going to happen to her again. But when she stumbles upon a secret museum hidden in the middle of town, she realises that there might be more to her new home than meets the eye.
The Museum of Emily is filled with the belongings of one seemingly ordinary girl - a girl who, many years ago, disappeared from the town without a trace. With the help of her new friends Sam and Jay, Lily is determined to solve the mystery and find out who Emily was, why she disappeared and who has created the strange, hidden museum.
With a one-of-a-kind mystery, a brilliant trio of protagonists, and an action-filled story, Looking for Emily is the unmissable middle grade debut of 2022.

You’re Not the Boss of Me!
“Amy loves writing comedy sketches, but a misguided teacher hands over the running of the school comedy show to a boy in Amy’s class. Harry doesn’t believe girls can be funny, especially Amy, who couldn’t give a hoot what Harry thinks of her, making her dangerous and a problem to squash. I laughed my way through this clever, thought-provoking book.”
You're Not the Boss of Me! was also included in Sarah Webb's roundup of the best of this year’s tales to keep children entertained in the Irish Independent. Read the full review here.
