Review

A great story and wonderful adventure! Jack is 12 and his very most favorite person in the world is his Grandpa! Now Grandpa may have a few eccentricities - like wearing his slippers to the supermarket, serving Spam with custard for dinner, or thinking it's 1940 when he was an RAF pilot serving in WW II when it's actually 1983! More and more Jack is noticing that he is having trouble being in the present rather than the past. But Jack adores him anyway! His parents however have other ideas for the fate of Grandpa - they decide he needs to be in an old folks home. Too bad the one they choose has a VERY crooked director! So what else is Grandpa to do but bust outta the place! And that's when the real adventure gets going! A great read and fun adventure!

Overall Book Score: very good
