We were lucky enough to receive a copy of the book Super Gran via the Mumsnet giveaway and it's a great book to receive too. My 8yr old daughter is quite the tomboy so the fun story suits her as well as any child without being too gender orientated. It's a fun and lighthearted story, bringing back memories too for the TV series I used to watch. Loving the occasional illustrations by David McKee which break up the story. Both my daughter and I would recommend this book; it's fun and makes you want to keep reading more.

We got this book via the mumsnet giveaway.My 9 year old daughter would give this book 10/10. She said Super Gran was hilarious and the illustrations were really funny. She thought the ending was amazing and would love to read more books about Super Gran. She also suggested the book be made into a movie!

We were really excited to win this and we have all laughed so much so far, really enjoying it. My own mum tried to remind me of it from my own childhood and must confess I can't remember it but now she is a supergran herself she wants to keep th e book at her house

DS is thoroughly enjoying this book. He describes it as very funny, with a mix of technology and superheroes. He has had moments of laughing out loud and also read parts to his younger sister, who found it funny, despite being beyond her current reading level. Very good book, would highly recommend.

I also got this book in the Mumsnet giveaway. My son is halfway through it and is also loving it. I keep asking him about what he has read and then I rattle on to him about the Supergran programme that I used to watch when I was younger. I then go on asking him to YouTube it to listen to the tune etc. I think I'm getting on his nerves! Thank you Mumsnet Grin

Our 7 year old son loves it so far. totally enthralled and the rafter of questions were left until I had finished reading. he was keen to talk about it. I have a vague recollection of super gran from the first time around but must admit I hadn't read the book before. cracking Smile

DS really enjoyed this book, he found it hilarious with some genuine laugh out loud moments. The pictures helped keep him engaged and he loves to reread it quite often.
