The grannies started it — when 11-year-old Charlie asked them about a paper round, they sprayed him in the face with chilli sauce!
From analysis of its causes, to gathering allies — including Hils, Rashid, Peter the Iraqi, and Warren and his magical bike, ‘TwelveSpeed’ — Charlie presents a thought-provoking history of a war liable to be told for generations.
Readers best set notions of kindly dears aside; in this book, Charlie is well justified in waging war against the elderly... and he didn’t really mean to blow any of them up!
