Product Description
Stephen has never met his great aunt Lola, and he doesn't want to. She sends him money twice a year and he always writes back, but Lola is almost eighty - what will they have to talk about?When Stephen's family arrives at her house, he discovers she's not only really, really old but also grumpy and scary. He wants to turn around and go home, but his mum says they have to stay until Lola's birthday - three weeks away.
With help from Lola's neighbour, Norm, and his dranddaughter, Allie, Stephen learns about the simple things in life - like fishing and cricket and climbing trees. But then there's an emergency, and a secret is revealed, and Stephen begins to wonder whether Lola has become more than just his aunt - could she be a friend?
