"A laugh-out-loud story starring a maverick, loo-roll celebrity"
How hard can it be, thinks Harry, to look after his tiny gran for a day? All he has to do is make sure she gets to the hairdresser and then on to pick up her special life-time achievement award at the Caught Short ceremony, the country’s biggest loo-roll celebration. Simple, yes? Well, no, it turns out… Unsurprisingly, Mini has ideas of her own about what she wants to do and Harry has a hard time keeping up. In fact, their day out involves a trip to the local theme park, the accidental kidnap of a wallaby, and the theft of a fork-lift truck. By the time they get to the ceremony, Harry’s having the time of his life and Mini has decided he’s her favourite grandchild. As adventures go, it’s extremely silly and very, very funny, and no matter how ridiculous their escapades, Mini and Harry come out smiling. This is a book to cheer everyone up, whether they are 11 or 74, and a gorgeous example of an intergenerational relationship too.
