This is such a wonderfully funny book.
Just the right mix of adventure and humour.

Fantastic read! My son and I struggled to put the book down and we cant wait to read the 2nd book. Jake is 6 and was on the edge of his seat for most of the book. 10/10
Here we have a new author who understands the charming idiodyncrasies that family members share and the humour and dynamics of relatives, and still manages to overlay a reassuring message of cooperation and jest for your children to soak up. Ninja Nan holds a good look at our humorous disposition and keeps it fun, atmospheric and suspenseful all the way through. A welcome member to the literary community!
