Nana Cracks the Case
Summary - Nana is not your ordinary grandma. She never wears cloppy shoes, drinks prune juice, or worries about slippery surfaces. Eufala and Bog's nana would much rather join the circus, work as a backhoe operator, or maybe become a detective. Which is exactly what happens in this very funny chapter book. When Nana answers an ad in the local newspaper for a detective, she arrives at the police department just in time to investigate the theft of one entire case of delicious Yumdums candy. Can one little old lady find a way to save the day and stop the candy thief from striking again?
Reviews
"Every once in a while a children’s book author presents a little old lady (or, less often, a little old man) as a sort of pseudo-kid or pseudo-adult—both, really. Considering how small, brilliant, and mischievous my own grandmother was clear into her nineties, this makes perfect sense to me." - Book Aunt
"Nana’s crime fighting skills and clueless demeanor are reminiscent of the Pink Panther’s Inspector Clouseau." - Curled Up Kids
"This speed read is probably most appealing to readers aged nine or younger. Nana and her grandchildren are odd, goofy characters and the story is filled with implausible situations." - Story Snoops
"This quirky, silly who-dun-it for the early chapter book reader will draw smirks and giggles from its young readers." - Feathered Quill
Nana Takes the Reins!
Reviews
"My daughters and I spent the majority of the time laughing through this book. It’s a great wacky adventure that is enhanced by the zany artwork of Sarah Horne. I can’t imagine reading this story without the illustrations. They’re perfect." - Children's & Teens Book Connection
"In this zany adventure, you never know what to expect from Nana... The illustrations are fun and wacky too, only adding to the fun! " - My Four Monkeys
