Grandpa’s Great Escape is a book by the famous author David Walliams.
It’s all about a boy called Jack and his Grandpa who’s been sent to an old folks home – Twilight Towers.
But Jack’s Grandpa was a World War II flying ace and won’t go down without a fight! Jack and his Grandpa plot a daring escape but little do they know, the wicked matron is on to them…
