Bad Nana 2: All The Fun Of The Fair by Sophy Henn

By Leave a Comment


ACHUKA Book of the Day Fri 22 Nov 2019

The second book in the wickedly funny LOLLIES shortlisted series for ages six and up.

Hi! I’m Jeanie – 7 3/4 years old, and a BIG fan of badges.

BAD NANA is one of my three grandmas (yes, three). Of course, “Bad Nana” isn’t actually her actual name – but it’s what everyone has been calling her for MILLIONS of years. If I had MY way, I would call her “Fun Nana”, because she is actually brilliant. Yes, she’s a bit NAUGHTY sometimes, but in an EXCELLENT way.
