I really enjoyed this book. It is the tale of Atticus and Autumn who are being looked after by their very grumpy great grandmother who really does not want to take care of them. What follows is a brilliant rollercoaster ride of thrills. Nora has an interesting past which soon catches up with her and pulls the three of them into some amazing adventures.
Such a great story, from Atticus and Autumn having two dads to grumpy Nora, such a feisty great granny. More please Joseph Elliott.

What do you get when you ask a grumpy great grandmother to babysit your kids? Not this story- certainly!

Nora is stuck (her words) with her great grandkids, Atticus and Autumn for the weekend. She is dreading it and no amounts of insults will make them go away. When a knife is plunged into Nora’s doorway, she knows a long held secret is about to be shared.

This story goes from brilliant plot twist to brilliant plot twist, barely stopping for breath- though there is a thoughtful chapter towards the end for you to grab a cup of tea! Nora is hilarious, crotchety and full of insults but there is a soft side to her which she shows briefly to Atticus. Autumn is three, constantly hungry and always up to mischief- which does give them an advantage over RipClaw from time to time.

Basically, Nora, Autumn and Atticus have a massive adventure sailing for lost treasure, defeating plenty of monsters and getting home in time for the kids dads’ to collect them.

Don’t believe me? Grab this book and enjoy!
