Max has two grandmas. One who reads to him, tells him stories and knits him itchy sweaters. His other grandma is a secret agent. She is excellent at diffusing bombs and lowering herself on a rope backwards, sideways and upside down from very tall buildings. And – not insignificant – she has a supersonic self-driving car with heated wing mirrors and a built-in money machine. There is one thing she isn’t good at: being a sweet grandmother. But Max will teach her that when he joins her on a new secret mission…
Press on Secret Agent Grandma:
‘Carefully crafted story, with lots of dialogue and humour, but also a serious undertone. (…) A humorous and adventurous story in which the author plays with the image of two seemingly opposite kinds of grandmas and the kind that grandchildren wish they had.’ – NBD Biblion
Press on Secret Agent Grandma 2: The Big Gold Robbery:
‘Fun, readable book with large print that keeps you wanting to know what happens next. I like the way that Secret Agent Grandma seems so exciting at fi rst, but Max soon starts longing for the other, ordinary grandma who does normal grandma things.’ – **** ikvindlezenleuk.nl
