Granny JJ Volume 2: She back!: Seven new Caribbean adventures (Guyana, Jamacia, Trinidad) (The Granny JJ Adventures) Kindle Edition

by Joshua Cartwright (Author), Glenda Cartwright (Translator), Melinda Thomas-DeJesus (Translator) Format: Kindle Edition
4.8 out of 5 stars 8 ratings

Granny JJ has ten children, lots of grandchildren - and should be relaxing in her old age. But she can't! She won't! Not while there are vexing crimes going on in the local Guyana villages - and no-one is solving them.


So, she'll have to do it!


Can she solve the case of the Portable Parking Meters? Where IS the Skulking schoolboy going?

By popular demand Granny JJ is back!

Seven new stories, each one written in phonetic Guyanese Creole - and with great love for Guyana!

There's hand-crafted and hillarious pictures of Guyanese life, Proverbs and a list of special words in case you don't remember them.

But don't worry - if you can read English then you can read what Granny JJ says!


Here's what other readers are saying about Volume 2:


"Granny JJ strikes again! A great collection of humorous stories, sending a strong message - behave in life and be good, or get caught and pay for it! Granny JJ solves the crimes and always has words of wisdom at the end of each story. My personal favourite is 'De case of de disappearing bandit'. Very clever. Would definitely recommend a read."


"After reading the first book that my daughter couldn’t put down she was eager to read this book and wasn’t disappointed at all, she loved all the adventures and hopes there will be more to come. "


In this release of Volume 2 you'll get:.

  1. Granny JJ and The Case of the Portable Parking Meters.
  2. Granny JJ and the Case of the Skulking Schoolboy.
  3. Granny JJ and the Case of the Double Bus Driver.

Editorial Reviews

Review

As a children's author/poet myself who spends most days in schools, I think children will love the continuing adventures of Granny JJ. The stories are concise, smart and augmented by excellent illustrations. Some of the most-loved children's books follow characters over a number of stories and Granny JJ's crime-solving exploits should slot onto bookshelves alongside these. Told in easy to understand Creole (with an superb glossary), teachers can also use the stories to introduce classes to literature from different cultures and countries. Fab!Neal Zetter, Award-winning children's author and poet, UK

Award-winning author Joshua Cartwright started his writing career writing short true-life accounts for Take a Break magazine, the top-selling women’s magazine in Britain. He’s always enjoyed stories, so it now seems natural that he trained as a business-life coach and ran a business for four years, helping people tell themselves better stories.

When the idea for The Granny JJ Adventures came along it was extremely off-beat – an old creole-speaking grandmother who investigates mysteries in Guyana, South America! But he listened to his wife Glenda, and now the book is well-known in Guyanese circles and even the Guyanese Government has bought copies! In September 2021 the book won a finalist award in the Reader's Favorite International book competition, in the mystery category.

He’s a committed Christian, and one day began wondering if he could create stories that helped children 8+ connect to Jesus.

Thus followed – with divine help! – the Jesus and Me series, now having over 65 five star reviews on Amazon; and it's currently being turned into a TV series script.

He’s happily married to Glenda and they have six children. Joshua's latest project is a book on how to develop your innovation skills called Brutal Creativity.

    This book is a collection of fun stories from Guyana! Granny JJ, the interesting main character makes the stories! I especially enjoyed the “Granny’s Thought” at the end of each story. This book is a wonderful collection of stories that would be great to introduce children and adults to a different culture!
