Grandpa’s Great Escape - Author David Walliams

An unforgettable journey full of heart, humour, and high-flying heroics.

In this bestselling adventure by David Walliams, Jack’s Grandpa may confuse custard with dinner and forget names, but his spirit is anything but fading. A former World War II flying ace, Grandpa still dreams in Spitfires and dares to soar.

When he’s sent to Twilight Towers, a suspicious old folks' home run by the sinister Miss Swine, Jack and Grandpa must team up for the ultimate escape mission. It's a story of bravery, family, and imagination—told with the signature wit and warmth of Walliams.

• Themes of family, aging, and empathy explored in a child-friendly way
• Perfect for reluctant readers, thanks to humour and illustrations
