Grandpa for Sale
As her Grandpa naps on the sofa, Lizzie minds the family antique store. When the extravagantly rich Mrs. Bradley Larchmont III enters the shop and begins a buying spree, she refuses to leave without bargaining for an unexpected item . . . Lizzie's Grandpa! As the stakes rise, Lizzie imagines all of the fabulous things she could buy with the money she is offered. But what fun would a sailboat, an ice cream parlor, or an amusement park be without Grandpa? Readers will enjoy the clever play between gray tones and vivid color that illustrates Lizzie's growing conflict. This farcical storyline, coupled with vibrant paintings, ultimately stresses the importance of family and friendship over material possessions and selfish, money-driven desires.

This provocative, very funny book unearths the true twisted beauty of British comedy's psychic root system: from the stains on Caroline Aherne's sofa to Ricky Gervais' self-destructive love affair with dairy products. Ben Thompson writes for "THE INDEPENDENT, THE FACE, and "GQ.
