More Television Adventures of Super Gran
'... nice quiet days and Super Gran just didn't seem to go together.' Certainly they didn't but there is much laughter for the reader as Super Gran learns to drive, gets involved with a learner golfer, a magician and much else. All the time she is after the dastardly criminals, the Scunner and Tub. Each chapter is a story that stands alone. There are many funny lines. Not a book for a teacher to read aloud but I can imagine children sharing bits of the book with each other. Super Gran goes down a bomb in the book shop. Her books move almost as fast as she does herself. Well worth stocking.
