Grandson and grandpa run away together for a one-night adventure in this chapter book from Swedish great Ulf Stark

“I hate the food here,” Grandpa said. “ They’ve taken all the joy out of it. Not even the water tastes any good.” “Perhaps you should run away,” I suggested. “I did a lot of that when I was young,” he said.

“But I think it’s a bit late now...” But by the time I had to leave for the bus, we’d made a plan.
