Emma Kennedy writes across several formats: humorous memoirs, children’s detective fiction, and adult novels. Her first book, How To Bring Up Your Parents (2007), set the tone for her non-fiction work with its sharp humor and personal voice. The Tent, the Bucket and Me (2009) became her best-known memoir, recounting her family’s disastrous camping holidays.
For younger readers, she created the Wilma Tenderfoot series (2009-2011), a four-book children’s detective series following a plucky girl investigator. The books combine mystery-solving with Kennedy’s trademark humor. Her adult fiction includes Shoes for Anthony (2017), The Things We Left Unsaid (2019), and The Never-Ending Summer (2021), which show a more serious side while keeping her strong narrative voice.
Letters From Brenda (2022) returned to non-fiction, drawing on family history for another personal memoir.
