Joy Cowley writes another heart warming story….there’s no super powers or dark secrets involved, but wary grandchildren who have to spend holidays with their grandparents in the Marlborough Sounds.
To begin with the grandparents are quirky at the least, but as time and dilemmas pass a growing relationship happens between them all, bridging the generations. It would be a good read to kids story as well.
