A spooky tale from the great author Anthony Horowitz. Grannies are supposed to be nice and cuddly and give you loads of sweets but not Joe Warden’s. Joe lives in splendour in Thattlebee Hall and his distant parents are very rich but he rarely goes out and feels a bit like a prisoner. But this is not his real worry – that happens to be his Granny!

Joe’s Granny is really horrible. She happens to be rather physically repulsive but also very very mean. She descends into Thattlebee Hall and has an evil scheme involving the Golden Granny Awards and wants to involve Joe in her scheme. Can he stop her before disaster strikes? A great read and gives a definite new perspective on Grannies!
