Astrid, the Au Pair from Outer Space

by Emily Smith

When Harry discovers that a girl is coming to help look after him and his baby brother, he is suspicious. However, he soon warms to Astrid when she turns up and gives him an idea to stop the school bully from ever bothering him again. But why hasn't she heard of can-openers or Coke?

About the author

I am Emily Smith, author of a range of books for readers of about seven years and upwards.

Magic or adventure, mystery or mayhem - whatever your tastes in books, there should be something to suit you. But all my books should make you laugh (and one or two might make you cry...).

I have won prizes (yay!) and was a runner-up in the Blue Peter Award (which was fun).

I am currently working on my new series The Days of Feere - watch this space!
