Description
HALF A MILLION POUNDS, ONE NEW GRANDPA AND A PRICELESS ADVENTURE.
Introducing the book that’ll steal everyone’s hearts this February.
“This is the story of what I did with that half a million pounds. This is the story of our Bucket List and the things I’ve learned along the way. Like old people are actually quite buoyant when dunked in water and true happiness doesn’t come with a price tag.”
Life's been a bit tricky for eleven-year-old Frank. His dad, Frank Senior, is always in trouble, and his mum is spending all her time at the tennis club. But when Frank receives an inheritance of £462,000 from the grandma he didn't know he had, things take a turn for the unexpected.
Except the money also comes with strict instructions for Frank to look after his grandfather. A very grumpy old grandfather. But this isn't going to stop Frank! Because he's decided to make a list of all the things he wants to try with his grandfather. And who ever said an eighty-year-old can't try parkour?
A soaring new adventure from JENNY PEARSON about discovering who you are and what makes you happy.
