Feely and Someone Else's Granny - Catchpole Barbara - Bog

Feely''s teacher wants her class to write up a report about life in the fifties. Everyone starts to interview their Grannies and Grandads, but Feely doesn''t have her own old person to talk to. Feely''s opinions of old people are very forthright until she meets Mrs Bagott at the old people''s home. Mrs Bagott is almost as crabby as Feely herself. A touching bond grows between them as they agree that life sucks.Meet Phoebe Dorcas Tonks, a brutally honest clever young lady, who is permanently annoyed at the world. Phoebe, or Feely for short, lives with her useless Mum and Dad - they''re worse than having a single parent. Even at the best of times they only add up to three fifths of a decent parent. And then there''s Feely''s older brother Oliver. He''s too big to live in a small house and his feet smell. It''s like having a kitten - cute but then it grows up into a normal boring cat and just lolls about the place stinking up the place.The Feely Tonks books are perfect for readers with an interest age of 7 - 12 years, and a reading age of 8 - 9 years.
