In this book, the Swedish children's writer continues the pages of Emil's mother's diary, telling us about the new mischief of the little Lönneberg boy. In the second novel about Emil from Lönneberg, there is no shortage of festive tables. And Emil, who appears 'on' them like a falling comet, not only arouses the laughter, horror and respect of the adults, but also manages to feed all the hungry grandmothers and grandfathers in the orphanage, teaching the domineering Boss a lesson. Now not only Emil's mother, but also we know how kind-hearted that boy with golden curls and blue eyes is!
