Grandpa's Great Escape
(7 reviews with an average rating of 4 out of 5)
Publisher: HarperCollins
Grandpa is getting forgetful. But his memories of flying war planes are sharp as bayonets. Grandpa and Jack love watching World War II films, eating Spam a la Custard and visiting the Imperial War Museum. But when Grandpa goes missing and Jack finds him stowed away in the Museum's spitfire, Jack's parents decide it's time for him to move to Twilight Towers.
Sneaking in to visit Grandpa under cover, Jack spots the scary matron forging the residents' wills, discovers a room full of pills to keep them asleep and another piled high with ominous coffins, it's up to Jack to help Grandpa escape!
A daring, madcap, blockbusting adventure, full of humour, history, bravery, compassion and affection, from award-winning, best-selling David Walliams.

This book was a thrilling adventure with grandpa and grandson. Also, it proves the bond between family. I love it because it is one of those books that take you along with them. David Walliams is an amazing author, like many others. I do recommend this book, it is a great one to read when you are snuggled up in bed.

I love this book, it kept me going for while and it is SUPER exciting ! I liked the part where Jack reminds his Grandpa that he is his Grandson because his Grandpa thinks Jack is wing commander to him. I would DEFINITELY recommend this book for what ever age you are!
