    About this ebook

    Nana is not your ordinary grandma. She never wears cloppy shoes, drinks prune juice, or worries about slippery surfaces. Eufala and Bog's nana would much rather join the circus, work as a backhoe operator, or maybe become a detective. Which is exactly what happens in this very funny chapter book. When Nana answers an ad in the local newspaper for a detective, she arrives at the police department just in time to investigate the theft of one entire case of delicious Yumdums candy. Can one little old lady find a way to save the day and stop the candy thief from striking again?

    Can You Keep a Secret?

    Nana held her newspaper up close to her face, just to be certain that the ad did indeed say wigs and not pigs, which she was clean out of at the moment.

    Well, that settles it then, said Nana, folding her newspaper back into a rectangle and tossing it down onto her now not-so-puffy cream puff. I am the perfect candidate for the job.

    It did seem that Nana had all of the qualifications necessary to be a detective. Not only did she own the various wigs mentioned in the ad, but, said Nana, I must admit that I can also, when necessary, be a bit sneaky.

    Nana did not often admit to being sneaky. In fact, you might want to turn down the corner on this page, as it will probably be the last page on which Nana ever admits to being sneaky again.

    Of course, it would be very hard for Nana to deny her sneakiness with the evidence sitting right there on her kitchen table for all to see.

    Surely you’ve already noticed it. Right next to the Fudge Freezie wrapper. No, not that Fudge Freezie wrapper, the other one.

    Yes, that’s it. The Joy of Napping.

    It doesn’t look very sneaky, no, that is true. In fact, now that you have found it on Nana’s table, you might be a little disappointed. Napping? you might say. I am not interested in napping. I prefer much more exciting things, like tetherball.

    But that’s just it, you see. Nana is not interested in napping either. And that is precisely why she has on her table a book called The Joy of Napping.

    Well that makes no sense whatsoever you must be thinking. And quite right you are. But that is only because you do not yet—not for several more sentences still—know the secret. It’s not a very big secret, nothing on the scale and grandeur of, say, turning your backyard into a rice paddy, or hiding a 40-pound reptile inside your closet. Now those sorts of secrets, as Eufala and Bog can tell you, require a fair amount of sneakiness to keep.

    Oh dear, you haven’t yet met Eufala and Bog, have you? What a lot we have to cover.

    Well, in addition to being Nana’s grand-children, Eufala and Bog happen to be the only two people on earth who know the secret. They have not even told their own mother the secret, nor will they
