A child writes an epic crime-fighting adventure with Nana who becomes a superhero banana.

Is your Nana a Banana? Nana is crazy about Bananas. It's all she can think about and we are worried that maybe she will become a Banana!

Rachel can't imagine why Bucky Greene, a scientist friend of her father's who's developing genetically engineered bananas, would show up at their New York City apartment in the middle of the night to leave a baby chimpanzee with them for a week -- or why they absolutely, positively can't tell anyone about it. What could possibly be "top secret" about an adorable chimp like Friday? Rachel hasn't a clue, but when Friday turns out to be really, inexplicably intelligent (Rubik's Cube's a snap) -- and Bucky Greene turns up really, inexplicably dead (he slipped on his own banana peel) -- she suspects serious monkey business afoot. And when chimp-nappers step into the picture, getting to the bottom of Friday's "top secret" before it's too late becomes a delightfully madcap mystery -- with Rachel in a riotous, nonstop race for survival of the fittest. Written by four-time Emmy-nominated writer and acclaimed humorist Hester Mundis, who raised a chimp of her own in her Manhattan apartment, this is a wonderfully funny -- and heartfelt -- novel about endangered species, corporate espionage, and going bananas in more ways than one.

Meet Nana! Affectionately known to her Grandson as "Nana Banana." "Silly Nana Banana" is a tongue-twisting-laughter-inducing read for all young children (and even grown-ups)! This book was created for and is dedication to my real life "Silly Nana Banana" (Susan O'Neill, my mother-in-law). Susan unfortunately passed away from COVID 19. I was fortunate enough to have been left a letter from her, in which she asked me to not let her three Grandsons forget her. This is my humorous and silly attempt at sharing Susan's "do anything silly for her grandchildren" approach to life. This is a great book for a VERY lighthearted read with and for young children. Sometimes silliness is what's needed!
