As it often happens, adventures wait for us in the most unlikely places! Joes and Mary Alice’s initial reluctance to notice that their old Grandma is actually a person with impressive life experience, rather wicked sense of humor and an ability to achieve the set goals is soon to be destroyed. Like any other boy of his age, he doesn’t want to waste his summer on being bossed around by his grandma and being forced to play with his younger sister in a sleepy town. He didn’t like being called a kid back then. However, Joey would probably disagree with that. The story is told from the perspective of a child. The novelist’s love for that grumpy Grandma and the slow pace of life that still exists in small towns across the country make these stories especially heart-warming. The author manages to portray the kids’ reluctance to leave their friends and go to a place that can only be described as dull, tasty breakfasts that win them over and the difference between younger and older generations.
