Yer Granny


Book Description

Based on La Nona by Roberto Cossa Yer Granny is a riotous new comedy about a diabolical 100-year-old granny who’s literally eating her family out of house and home. She’s already eaten their fish and chip shop into bankruptcy and now she’s working her way through their kitchen cupboards, pushing the Russo family to desperate measures just to survive beyond 1977. As proud head of the family, Cammy is determined that The Minerva Fish Bar will rise again and that family honour will be restored – and all in time for the Queen’s upcoming Jubilee visit. But before Cammy’s dream can come true and before Her Maj can pop in for a chat, a single sausage and a royal seal of approval, the family members must ask themselves how far they will go to solve a problem like Yer Granny.

Ghost Granny

When Granny dies, everyone in the family heaves a sigh of relief. She was a difficult old woman and not easy to live with. So when the unmistakably transparent form of Granny appears at the tea table, both adults and children are alarmed. Why is Granny’s spirit so restless? It appears the young apprentice angel assigned to guide her spirit to heaven hasn’t been doing her job. Whether Granny goes upstairs or down below now hangs in the balance – and Granny’s bad temper doesn’t help. The ensuing tussle between the devilish form of Mr. Brimstone and his bumbling angelic counterpart for the old lady’s soul leaves Granny in limbo and the family in crisis. When Granny’s ghost disappears, it’s left to young Anna, with a few angelic companions, to seek her at the very doors of Hellmouth. GHOST GRANNY by bestselling author Melanie Guile is a funny, fast-moving, and entertaining read with thoroughly engrossing characters.
