Nicole was min lus om die vakansie saam met haar ma Weskus toe te kom. Sy wou liewer by die huis bly om Golden Acres, dié ryskool in Pretoria, se perdespringkursus by te woon.

Hoe sleg gaan haar vakansiefoto’s nie afsteek teen Chané se Mauritius-foto’s nie? En wat gaan sy heeldag doen tussen ’n klomp mariene bioloë wat net oor hulle navorsing kan praat?

Maar die Weskus is ’n verrassende plek . . .

Die aksiebelaaide opvolg op Emma En Die Geheime Gang.

Die skool en koshuis op Kosterkloof het weer na normaal teruggekeer ná die skoolhoof se komplot om kinders se DNA aan ruimtewesens te verkoop, oopgevlek is. Die kinders word nou aangemoedig om gesond te eet en ook sport te beoefen. Emma kom egter gou agter dat die blou koelsakke wat die onderhoof in die middel van die nag kombuis toe dra, nie die rugbyspan se koeldranke bevat soos hy beweer nie. En wat het die nuwe hoteleinenaar, die Plottenboers, Jori Appelgryn en die Snopkes, wat steeds in die tronk sit, met mekaar te doen?

Emma besluit natuurlik om ondersoek in te stel, maar niks kan haar en Zoltan egter voorberei vir die gruwelike fonds wat hulle een aand in die koelsakke ontdek nie . . .
