Description

In this exciting follow-up to Nana Cracks the Case, Nana, the grandmother everyone wants, takes her mischief-making grandchildren on yet another rollicking adventure. This time Nana, Eufala, and Bog are on their way to the rodeo so Nana can apply to be a bull-rider when a broken-down car veers them off-course and Nana takes a detour as a car mechanic. Hilarious bad guys Tuff and the Ruffies and plenty of cowboy-themed antics will keep readers turning the pages.

Reviews

"The humor in this book is utterly over-the-top" - School Library Journal "The humor in this book is utterly over-the-top, in a way that will appeal to children."--School Library Journal "Like Nana's elderly car, this story hops along. The sheer randomness of the plot may keep readers fixed: What could possibly happen next?" - Kirkus Reviews
