Emily's Pranking Problem

by Wendy L. Brandes, Eleonora Lorenzet (Illustrator)

Overview

Emily is known for saying exactly what's on her mind. But there's one thing she's not willing to talk about how her parents' fighting has gotten bad throughout the year, making her happier than ever to escape to camp. She keeps herself distracted by focusing on her swimming times and pulling pranks. But when one of her pranks ends up going too far, she puts her time at camp at risk. Discussion questions, writing prompts, and a glossary make this a great addition for libraries.

About the Author

Eleonora Lorenzet is a 25 year old Italian illustrator. She's been raised with a strong sense of faith in every form of art and firmly believes in magic. After studying foreign languages in high school to get the chance of travelling the world, she attended the school of comic "Scuola di Fumetto" of Milan, and had the opportunity to meet the amazing artist Michael Sowa during a workshop with MiMasater. Her biggest influences are Nicoletta Ceccoli, Victoria Frances, Shaun Tan Alessandro Barbucci and Barbara Canepa. Lately she fell in love with digital art thanks to the amazing work of artist Loish (Lois Van Baarle) and the previous advices on Chris Oately Academy. In 2015 she drew a line of greeting cards for Nicitta. She's represented by Advocate Art since 2014.

Wendy L. Brandes, an attorney, is quite familiar with the excitement, fun, adventure, trials, and tribulations of summer camp.  Initially a reluctant camper, she attended summer camp in the Adirondacks for four years and sent both her son and her daughter to camp in Maine. A published legal writer, Wendy notes that she has had far more fun writing this summer camp series and reliving her days as a camper. She lives in Manhattan with her husband, her children and her dog, Louie, a black lab.
