In this book, the Swedish children's author continues the diary of Emil’s mother, sharing more mischievous adventures of the little boy from Lönneberga. The second tale about Emil is full of festive feasts, where Emil, like a shooting star, always seems to appear at just the right (or wrong!) moment. Whether making the grown-ups laugh, gasp, or even admire him, Emil also manages to feed all the hungry grandmas and grandpas at the poorhouse, giving the haughty Mrs. Chief a lesson in humility. Now, not just Emil’s mother, but we too, come to see the kind heart hidden beneath his golden curls and bright blue eyes.
