Charlotte's grandfather is unbearable: a haughty, caustic know-it-all. But since his stroke, words come out of his higgledy-piggledy, leading to comical or embarrassing situations. It does keep Charlotte busy! Looking after her grandfather for just a few days is a big job. Especially since the grumpy old man categorically refuses to obey her, has usable—that is, as usual!
Brimming with flights of fancy from a grandfather who seems to talk in riddles, this lively tale, rich in twists and turns, introduces two characters with nothing in common, forced by their trying experiences to build new connections.
