A beloved grandfather and his grandson have a last adventure together in this book about dying and death. I'd guess 4th grade up could handle it. Anyway, it's a poignant story of a hospitalized grandfather and his grandson running away and going back to his grandfather's home one last time. The grandfather sorely misses his wife who has passed on some time before. No one believes the boy when he tells them of the adventure, but his grandfather grows closer because of the adventure. It's an uplifting tale, but a bit sad. Still, I loved the grandfather! Feisty old guys are just soooo entertaining! And he's just full of searing (Not in boo!) and roaring his outrage! Love it!

This is a lovely short story about a boy and his grandfather. It includes some sad themes but I found that I didn't feel sad at all, either during or after finishing the book. It is told in a simple way with beautiful, bright illustrations that are as important as the text and contrast and support the story really nicely. This will be an excellent addition to the school library, especially for helping children who are experiencing some of the issues it addresses.
