A secret agent grandma must be smart, fast, and good at martial arts. She must be able to easily disguise herself, speak many languages and be very good with computers. – The American secret service handbook
Max has two grandmas. One grandma loves crocheting and doing puzzles. The 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. On Fridays, Max always visits his puzzle
grandma and they watch TV all afternoon. But one day puzzle grandma is ill and his other grandma comes to collect him. She has an appointment with the president of China and she must make sure nobody plants a bomb under the Royal Palace of Amsterdam…
This is the beginning of an exciting series of adventures for Max and other secret agents he encounters on the way, such as secret agent grandpa, secret agent teacher and even secret agent dog!
Praise:
‘A carefully crafted story, with lots of dialogue and humour, but also a serious undertone. (…) A humorous and adventurous book in which the author plays with the image of two seemingly opposite kinds of grandmas.’ – NBD Biblion
