Publisher's summary

David Walliams, hailed as "the heir to Roald Dahl" by The Spectator, burst onto the American scene with the New York Times best seller Demon Dentist. Now the UK's number one best-selling children's author is back with this high-flying adventure about a boy and his grandfather, perfect for fans of Jeff Kinney and Rachel Renee Russell.

Grandpa is Jack's favorite person in the world. It doesn't matter that he wears his slippers to the supermarket, serves Spam à la Custard for dinner, and often doesn't remember Jack's name. But then Grandpa starts to believe he's back in World War II, when he was a Spitfire fighter pilot, and he's sent to live in an old folks' home run by the sinister Matron Swine. Now it's up to Jack to help Grandpa plot a daring escape!

Great story

Great story of grandson and
grandfather. Every child should have wonderful memories of relatives. And it is so true if you remember them they never die.

I LOVE THISS

I really like the storyline of this book because of the action and if you’re looking for a good family audiobook this is the one.
On the other hand I give it a four star because the narration felt bland because usually walliams is very energetic and fun in his narrations but this just felt kind of sad almost.
Recommended if you like action and thrillers but kept relaxed at the same time and if you’re like me and prefer less depressing books if you’re a David walliams lover ( like me ) you should know this isn’t like his other books but it’s sort of like gangsta granny
