Really funny, exciting and all emotions.
Exciting story.
I liked how Grandpa kept escaping. And I liked how he found a real Spitfire in the Imperial War Museum. He thought it was a real plane!

I love this fiction book because it is so funny and youngsters will enjoy it. My favourite character was Grandpa because I like how he calls people ' Charlady ' and he loves the spitfire. I love all the action at the end! I would recommend this book.

This book is funny and creative and I suggest everyone reads it!
Wow. This is beautiful. I love this and I always will love David Walliams
I really recommend this book it is tense and has got big surprises waiting. It can be sad and happy I felt really adventurous after I read it . My favourite character was probably grandpa because he was hilarious! He thought it was still World War II so all he said was related to that .It wasn't that factual But I was never relaxed
This book was amazing, so funny and a brilliant story! I loved when Grandpa stole the aircraft from the museum and flew off into the sunset! My favourite character is Raj the newsagent he is always so funny and makes me laugh!
I liked this book because Grandpa escaped from prison
it's good
It was so funny! I think David Walliams is an amazing author; he may be one of my favourites!
An excellent book you should read it
Will Tom's Grandpa escape from the dreaded care home with help from his grandson, or will he make it out of there in a coffin like the other's did?
I recommend this book.this story is about a boy and his grandfather. The Grandfather thinks he is still in WW2 and is often flying around in his spitfire. This story is a lot of fun and one of my favourite David Walliam's books.
I loved it when grandpa saved everyone in twinklight towers
It was a very good story and I liked the granddad as he was funny and kept thinking he was flying. It interested me because when I looked at the cover I saw a spitfire and I like spitfires and David Walliams books. I would recommend it because this book is excellent, has lots of comedy and it is also serious.
It was good
I liked that they stole a spitfire from a museum.
its was very intreging
The book is really interesting. I like jets and planes and that's what the book is all about. It's a good read.
I love when grandpa thought he was in ww1 and he went to the museum and got in a plan that was hanging from the roof.
I thought that this book was really good, I rate it 5/5. It was really thrilling and mysterious! I would definitely recommend!
Fun book about world war 2
Awesome!
Many years ago grandpa was a World War II flying ace. But when he is sent to the old folks home Twighlight Towers- run by sinister matron Swine - it’s up to grandpa and his grandson,Jack, to plot a daring escape. Little do they know, the wicked matron is on to them…
My favourite character is Jack. He and his Grandpa has amazing adventures together. The adventures would be making a daring escape from Twilight Towers, the theft of the fighter plane and the parachute drop into the garden of Buckingham palace. I would definitely recommend you to read it.
This book was probably the best David Walliams book lve read so far because it has all of the adventure and all of the excitement that I like in books.
