Grandma is Hitting it Big (2024)

Stella‘s Bonkers Family Series #8 The Stella‘s Bonkers Family Series has earned its place among Iceland‘s most popular children’s books. Each of the books has won Iceland’s Children’s Choice Book Award and the first, My Bonkers Mum!, also won the Icelandic Literary Prize and was selected as 2017 IBBY Outstanding Books for Young People with Disabilities Selection. The book was adapted into a popular stage play, and the audience — just like the other Stella fans around Iceland — cheered for more.

Meet Stella and her wonderfully chaotic family. Stella thought her family had experienced every kind of craziness imaginable, but nothing could prepare her for the whirlwind that ensues when her artist grandmother, Grandma Copenhagen, hits it big and invites the whole family to visit her. Join Stella as she navigates through a series of hilarious and heartwarming adventures: teaching her mischievous twin siblings how to use the potty, helping her dear friend Fatima out of a mess, and dealing with a mysterious Danish guy with long hair who keeps showing up in their kitchen in just his underwear! Through laughter, love, and a whole lot of mayhem, Stella learns the importance of family and the joy of embracing life's unexpected surprises.

Perfect for children and families, this book is a delightful reminder that even in the craziest of times, family is always there to support and love one another.
