Grandpa's Great Escape | Review

Grandpa has become confused in his old age and believes he's back in World War 2 when he was a fighter pilot. The only one who can understand him is his grandson Jack. Together they must embark on one last adventure "up, up and away".

The story was very good, it was fast paced and easily grabbed my attention, keeping me hooked and wanting more.

It was a very quick and easy read and should think most 8-year-olds could manage to speed through this. The dialogue was very good and think kids would love some of the dialogue from Grandpa and the local newsagent. 

I loved Grandpa and Jacks characters especially. They were fun to read about and was a joy to read the fun that they had during the book.

Great story for young readers and has a surprising depth in helping young children deal with elderly relatives with dementia and other similar problems, causing the people they love to slowly change. A very solid 5 stars on Goodreads,
