A laugh-out-loud story about a karate-chopping grandma that will have
children wondering what exceptional, out-of-the-box and surprising
talents their grandparents might have!
When Ethan's grandma suggests they take a zip line to school, Ethan
realizes that his grandma is a little different. In fact, she's a ninja!
Ethan is soon the hit of the school when his grandma drops from the
ceiling at show-and-tell, and teaches the kids karate moves and how to
do back flips in slow motion.
But having a ninja for a grandma is not everything Ethan hoped it would
be. When his grandma deflates his team's soccer ball, everyone is
upset--including Ethan. Why can't he just have a regular grandma? he
wonders, until his new karate moves help him out during the championship
game and everyone is happy that his grandma isn't quite ordinary.
