About The Story

When a new boy named Jeremy Ross moves into the neighborhood, the narrator is quick to label him his No. 1 enemy—especially after being left out. Hoping for revenge, he tells his father, who offers to make his mysterious “Enemy Pie”, to solve the problem. But there's a catch: to make the pie work, he must spend a whole day being nice to Jeremy. As the boys spend the day together—playing, laughing, and discovering common ground—the narrator begins to question whether Jeremy was really an enemy. In the end, the pie is just a decoy... and the lesson is real. This clever, heartfelt story serves up big messages about assumptions, empathy, and the magic of shared time. This story pairs beautifully with other Zamasama stories on friendship and conflict: • The Grand Patch-Up – about a misunderstanding that almost ends a friendship • The Sweetest Mango – a tender reminder that some things, like mangoes and friendships, are sweetest when shared
