Description
Jack’s grandpa is a little different. He wears his slippers to the supermarket, serves mashed potato in his shoes, and often mistakes Jack for a fellow World War II flying ace. Why? Because Grandpa is stuck in the past—still flying daring missions in his mind, even though the war ended decades ago.
But when Grandpa is sent to Twilight Towers, a sinister old folks’ home run by the villainous Miss Swine, Jack realizes something is terribly wrong. It’s up to him to rescue Grandpa in a daring escape plan—complete with secret tunnels, high-speed chases, and a vintage Spitfire.
Together, they prove that you’re never too old for adventure, and that the bond between a boy and his grandpa is stronger than time itself Highlights
