From the bestselling queen of heart and humour, JENNY PEARSON, comes a great big soaring adventure about family and finding happiness.

When Frank John Davenport inherits piles of money from a grandma he didn’t know he had, things take an unexpected turn… Because the money comes with STRICT instructions…and a NEW grandpa.

Frank quickly compiles a list of all the ways he can spend the money and look after his grumpy grandpa. Money may buy hot-air balloon rides, monster-truck lessons and epic parkour experiences, but can Frank discover that happiness is, in fact, priceless?

This is one of my favourites, it was really funny in places. I liked how grandpa Frank and his grandson who is also called Frank get to be friends and have fun adventures and also how they win against the bad guys. It also helped me understand a bit about dementia which was good. I would recommend it.

It was funny and had very good description. I now think Jenny Pearson is one of my favourite authors. My favourite character is definitely dicky because I love dogs.
