Old Grumpus and Other Stories

Difficult parents and tiresome teachers, boyfriend troubles, wild animals and pets, sporting competitions, best friends and enemies - these are just some of the everyday problems faced by Jo Wheatley, one of the ever-growing band of "ten-year-old teenagers." These six short stories follow the ups and downs of Jo's life through the second half of the year . Exciting, sad, funny and - above all - truthful, they capture the essence of growing up at the start of this new Millenium.
