BLURB:
What happens to Grandma's house when she doesn't tidy up? Well, you're about to find out. And it's . . . rather dangerous! Thank goodness Owen and Bandit are there. They have ultra-special skills, but they will have to be extra brave to save the day, and Grandma! Will they win the epic battle?

Excerpt One:
“Grandmaaaaaaaaa! Are you in there?”
Grandma usually answered the door on the first buzz.
She was nearly always close by, making fresh orange juice for Owen's arrival from school. Owen liked his afternoons with Grandma before he had to go home and do homework, eat his spinach, clean his room and other such booooring things.
Bzzzt... BZZZZZZT! Where was Grandma?
Owen wanted his oatmeal-choco-blast-moon-pie cookies too.
Bzzzt... BZZZZZZT!
Still, no Grandma.
Tired of waiting in the cold, Owen turned the frozen handle. The door clicked open and he stepped inside.
“Grandmaaaaaaaaa!"
“Grandmaaaaaaaaa!"
Not a creak. Not a sound.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Review: Where was Owen’s grandma? The kitchen was messy and grandma’s black cat was there, but there was no grandma. Where was she? So Owen decided to investigate.
Owen goes from room to room, each one containing a strange peculiarity.
The illustrations were cute and colorful, vividly portraying the story in comic-style panels. The whole thing was a fun, little adventure of hide-and-seek…until he finds the culprit that caused the big, multicolored mess.
“I’ve been a bit careless. I’m supposed to be old and wise, but, alas, when you don’t put things away…well, that’s what happens…Yarni happens.”
So vibrant and fun! A great read and a great lesson to clean up, keep things tidy, and put toys away. Highly recommended!
