"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.

Harry - known as Harry the Hulk to his friends, because he is freakishly tall for an 11-year-old - is desperate for a dog. His mum has said if he can earn 500 Puppy Points then he's allowed to get one. And today she has offered him 50 points if he takes Gran to the Caught Short Awards, where she has won the Lifetime Achievement Award for services to Loo Roll. All Harry has to do is take her for a haircut and then to the ceremony. It should be easy! It should be a piece of cake. But what Harry doesn't know is that Gran has her own agenda in mind, and after a stop at the supermarket for some toffees (the sweet she is BANNED from having!) things go very wrong indeed!
