MY REVIEW
I honestly haven’t laughed so much, reading a book in such as long time, that I can’t remember the last time I read a full length novel, with laughter.
This novel Nora and the Map of Mayhem is so suitable for 8 to 89 years olds. I know my mum would find this hilarious!
Inside there is just what children like to read about, with things that turn literary quite funny with quirky mayhem, and mischief. And of course there’s monsters.
Why is Nora dreading it so much having to spend the whole weekend with her grandkids? Most great-grandma’s love it when they can spend a weekend with their grandchildren.
Nora is a funny type of great-grandma who thinks she too old to wiping her 3 year olds grand daughters bottom. And you can tell their great-grandma is out of up to the modern day times, when she finds her 10 year old grandson annoying always playing on his mobile phone, well that’s what kids do these days.
Just by looking at the cover alone, I could tell it’s going to be one of those hilarious unputdownable reads!
Honestly this book is a really treasure, I just know you all will love reading it, having a good laugh!
