When I first started reading this book to my grandchildren (8 yrs. and 10 yrs.), they didn't want me to put it down. They were enthralled with the dilemma the young girl faced when her crotchety grandmother moved in. There's a lovely turnaround for the family. Not only is the story appealing, but it teaches (without hitting you over the head) about strong family values.

The Gramma War is about a girl named Annie having to move in with her sister Carol, so her gramma can have her room. Her gramma has to come to live with them because she is 81 and needs care. Every thing was going wrong in Annie's life. A new teacher, a club she wanted to go in to was breaking up and she had to give up her gerbils. Annie hates her teacher, but her teacher decides to her Annie. He suggests a group called the GJS detectives. Annie said she would try it. The GJS is about making her finding tree. Her gramma helps her out. When it comes to remembering the past, Annie's gramma hasd a great memory. Her gramma had a heart attack. She is rushed to the hospital. She is just about to be released when she has another heart attack. Annie was at the park when her gramma has the second heart attack. Annie is very upset because she loves her gramma very much, now that she is getting to know her.

I thought the book was good once you got into it. It was a funny book. It is a good book for kids. It is also good for people that like humor.
