Summary

A brand-new story in the best-selling Princess Poppy series!

When Grandpa gets ill Poppy can't think about anything else because she is so worried about him. She is missing him such a lot that she can't even concentrate on practicing for her gym club competition which is most unlike her as she is usually desperate to do the best that she can.

When Poppy visits him in hospital she hardly recognizes Grandpa because he's looking so pale and thin, but when she sees his familiar stripey pyjamas and starts chatting away to him about what she's been up to, she knows it's him after all.

Every time she visits, Poppy is sure that Grandpa is looking a little bit better and convinced that her wish for him to be home by the weekend will come true.

Find out how Poppy helps Grandpa to get well again and whether she will be a gym princess after all.

About the author

Janey Louise Jones

Janey was born in Edinburgh and grew up by the seaside just outside the city. Janey published the first two Princess Poppy books herself (with her own illustrations) and the books were so popular that Random House Children's Books soon bought the series and re-packaged the books. The series is now going from strength to strength, including picture books, activity books and sumptuous gift books. Janey has also written novels for young readers and the Princess Poppy Cookbook all of which have been very successful.

Janey read English at Edinburgh University specializing in the Victorian novel. Following this she became a teacher - a career that she absolutely adored - and then, with her husband, set up The Jelly Club, which has become an extremely successful chain of children's activity centres in Scotland. She still very much enjoys visiting schools and talking to children to find out what they like doing and what makes them laugh. Janey lives in Edinburgh with their three sons.
