Julia Eccleshare's comment:
When Granny begins to need more looking after, Mum and Dad decide she’d be better off in a home. But Ivan, Tanya, Nicholas and Sophie have other ideas. Saving Granny soon becomes the topic for their school project as well as a useful way of persuading – or blackmailing- Mum and Dad into letting Granny stay at home. A funny and touching story which says much about optimistic and loving grandchildren are about their grandparent.
