Synopsis:
Six-year-old Emma’s having a tough time. Her mum and dad are both too busy to pay much attention to her, and Emma feels really lonely sometimes. When she finds a tabby cat sitting outside her window, she takes it in without her parents’ permission. Soon the secret becomes more and more difficult to keep, but armed with her spunkiness and a newfound independence, Emma and her new companion find much joy in tiptoeing around her parents, and soon become the best of friends.

When her parents finally discover her secret, Emma tells them about how her cat has been there for her, and they realise that they haven’t been giving Emma the time and attention she needs.

Dad's For Sale is the second book in the Emma & Ginger series, jhawnette worked with Epigram Books on. 

Synopsis:
Emma’s back, and feistier than ever. This time, she wants to put her dad up for sale!

It all begins when she accompanies him to his camera shop. There, she encounters a rich and famous actress willing to pay a whole lot to hire a bodyguard. Since Emma’s dad refuses to buy her the pair of rollerblades she wants, she decides to “sell” him to the famous actress to get the money she needs.

That seems like a splendid idea, until she gradually realises that she appreciates and needs her dad…more than she wants new toys.
