As Grandpa grows older, he begins to experience memory loss and sometimes believes he’s still in the war.

Full of Walliams' signature wit, the story combines laugh-out-loud moments with an exploration of family bonds, nostalgia, and the challenges of aging. This adventure tale is a mix of humor, action, and emotion, celebrating the powerful bond between a boy and his grandfather.
