Super Granny (English Version)
Om denne e-bog
Everyone likes having a superhero in the family. At least, life won't be boring. But Megan Havervlok doesn't have a family. She lives in an orphanage, and that orphanage stands in Polderdam, the most boring village in the Netherlands. That makes it difficult to experience exciting adventures.
Everything changes on her eighth birthday. On that day, Granny comes to visit. Granny needs help with counting and calculations, with baking eggs and… with experiencing adventures. Granny is a superhero by profession.
Meg loves adventures. She offers to help Granny. This results in a colourful collection of short stories, each more beautiful and funnier than the other. Meg wrote them all in a beautiful book, with a front cover by the famous artist Gerard Monster, a book that grandmothers can read aloud, so their grandchildren can enjoy, and above all laugh out loud. For grandmothers and their grandchildren, aged 9 to 99.
Megan Havervlok wrote numbers 1 and 2 on Google Books' list of the world's most popular free Dutch children's books (April 2022). When we asked Megan how an eight-year-old could beat all those professional authors, she said: "Pffff. Simple. With a superhero like Granny around, everything is possible."

Om forfatteren
Megan Havervlok is eight years old, and she's pretty smart for her age.
Megan lives with 19 other girls in the orphanage The Forest Hill, in Polderdam. Her best friends are Pauline, Astrid and Ro. Pauline is neat, just the way Miss Galsteen of The Forest Hill likes it. Astrid always invents the craziest things. Ro's real name Roderick, but everyone thinks that's a stupid name (who calls his child Roderick?), so they always call him Ro. Together they are in group 4 of primary school De Hobbel.
Polderdam is the most boring village in the Netherlands, and Megan loves to experience adventures. Luckily, Granny came by. She asked Megan for help, with maths and baking eggs, but also with solving cases. Granny is a superhero by profession. Of course, superheroes experience the most exciting and funniest adventures every day, but a superhero's sidekick is only allowed on an adventure if she has done her schoolwork and her chores around the house first.
Every morning, Megan writes in her notebook about her adventures with Granny on the previous day. She bundled that colourful collection of adventures, with a beautiful drawing by Gerard Monster on the cover. Super Granny is a delicious book for grandmothers and grandchildren.
