Meet Archie - a 10-year-old boy from a very ordinary family, who lives on an ordinary street and who goes to a very ordinary primary school, but he has an EXTRAORDINARY grandad! Archie's mum and dad are busy working parents who try hard to juggle their working lives and the commitments of family life so Archie and his sister, Sophia, get to spend a lot of time with their grandparents. Time spent with Grandad is always full of stories, adventures and fun! Archie's a different person when he's with his grandad. If only there were more school holidays each year! 5 black and white illustrations
