Middle Grade Book of the Week: The War with Grandpa by Robert Kimmel Smith

Summary

Peter loves his grandfather and is happy that he will be moving in with the family. Until he finds out it means giving up his room. He thinks Grandpa will give up the room if he plays a few pranks. Instead, Grandpa declares war.

My Thoughts

This classic from the 1980’s was made into a movie starring Robert DiNero in 2020. I decided to do a retro pick this week because one of my classes will start reading it next week. This is a fun, quick read. I love that even though Peter and Grandpa are at “war”, it is clear that they love each other, and the pranks aren’t mean spirited.
