I Lost My Granny in the Supermarket
Book Review
I give this book ten out of ten because it's very funny and it has lots of good illustrations
I really enjoyed this book. The beginning is a bit weird and then that’s when I knew that I would love this book.
The story is about an eleven year old boy called Harry who needs to take his granny to a ceremony because his granny invented loo roll. But after she ate a toffee in the supermarket things go very wrong!
Such as Harry getting stuck in a chipmunk costume. The only reason he agreed to wear the costume is because Harry really wants a dog. He gets given puppy points for doing jobs and for this job he would get fifty points. He needed five hundred in total.
I give this book a ten out of ten because it’s very funny and it has lots of good illustrations by Nathan Reed.
About the Book
Harry – known as Harry the Hulk to his friends, because he is freakishly tall for an 11-year-old – is desperate for a dog. His mum has said if he can earn 500 Puppy Points then he’s allowed to get one. And today she has offered him 50 points if he takes Gran to the Caught Short Awards, where she has won the Lifetime Achievement Award for services to Loo Roll.
All Harry has to do is take her for a haircut and then to the ceremony. It should be easy! It should be a piece of cake. But what Harry doesn’t know is that Gran has her own agenda in mind, and after a stop at the supermarket for some toffees (the sweet she is BANNED from having!) things go very wrong indeed!
