Volume 3: A Letter from Nana

When Lizzy Anne’s grandma comes to visit, the two bond over an interest in their family’s history. Little does Lizzy Anne know that she’s about to climb through the limbs of an elaborate family tree.

It starts out as a simple school project, but the more Lizzy Anne learns about her relatives, the more fascinated she becomes. Farmers, circus performers, fighter pilots, and plenty of twins are all parts of Lizzy Anne’s exciting ancestry.

Grandma Nana also informs Lizzy Anne about a treasured family heirloom that has been passed down from mother to daughter for generations. Grandma Nana says very little else about this in her letter – what could it possibly be?

What sort of history will Lizzy Anne dig up? Pick up a copy of Volume 3 to find out!
