A new series by Cathy MacPhail - winner of the Kathleen Fidler Award, and author of the best-selling Missing, Bad Girls and Dark Waters. This hilarious series for younger readers is a new departure for Cathy. When enormous, rhinoceros-lookalike Granny Nothing arrives on the McAllisters' doorstep it's a big shock for Stephanie and Ewen. They didn't even know she existed! Now Granny Nothing is making up for lost time, sorting out the vicious rottweilers from next door, the sadistic Nanny Sue, and Ewen's problems with the school bully. But not everyone's happy with Granny Nothing's methods...

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From AudioFile
Granny Nothing is larger than life but still a believable character who descends on Stephanie, Ewen, and Baby Thomas. Her boisterous nature helps the children cope with bullies at school, and she single-handedly sends the neighbors' rottweilers, Hannibal and Lechter, scampering in fear. Narrator Sophie Aldred makes each character distinctive, with Granny being the best. Her Scottish accent and rollicking singing are terrific. However, when Baby Thomas utters his first words, learned from Granny, Aldred is most winning. Those first words--"hell's bells and buckets"--are unbeatable. Another outstanding title from BBC Audiobooks enchants, entertains, and gently conveys important lessons for children. S.G.B.
