A Donated USED Book - SEND A BOOK SCHEME
Many years ago Grandpa was a World War II flying ace. But when he is sent to old folk's home Twilight Towers - run by sinister Matron Swine - it's up to Grandpa and his grandson, Jack, to plot a daring escape. Little do they know the wicked matron is onto them...
In his old age Grandpa has become confused. He believes he is back in World War II when he was an RAF Spitfire pilot.
Jack’s Grandpa…
- wears his slippers to the supermarket
- serves up Spam à la Custard for dinner
- and often doesn’t remember Jack’s name
But he can still take to the skies in a speeding Spitfire and save the day…
Only one person can understand him: his grandson Jack. Together, they embark on the adventure of their lives.
An exquisite portrait of the bond between a small boy and his beloved Grandpa – this book takes readers on an incredible journey with Spitfires over London and Great Escapes through the city in a high octane adventure full of comedy and heart.
Grandpa's Great Escape is available to buy new in paperback, hardback, audio download and ebook and part of a David Walliams Box Set. Email us if you would like us to order you a NEW David Walliams item.
