When Nancy has to put together a report on her great-grandfather for school, she can't help but embellish. Nancy's exaggeration almost lands her in hot water in this warm family story.

This follow-up to the New York Times bestselling series is a great curriculum tie-in for students learning about family trees and ancestry. The I Can Read format is perfect for young Fancy Nancy fans who are ready to read on their own.

Horn Book Review

While working on a report about her great-grandparents, Nancy liberally embellishes the truth. She must then right her wrong before her grandfather finds out. Though there's some heavy-handedness, Nancy's fans will giggle as her imagination carries her--and her whole family history--away. Curlicue-heavy pictures illustrate Nancy's story. "Fancy Words" (ancestors, exaggerate) are defined in an appended glossary. (c) Copyright 2011. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
