Anyone who doesn't agree needs their head examined." This intriguing opening to My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry catches a reader's interest immediately. It is the captivating beginning of a tale within a tale, wrapped up in mystery, and downed with a combination of dreams and daring. We first meet Elsa and her grandmother at a police station. Granny has been bad, apparently. From this point forward, there is a hilarious turn of events that show how completely unconcerned Granny is with rules and political correctness. Granny owns a house with several tenants, all of whom, we later find out, have some kind of connection to Granny's past. She tends to show little respect to some of these tenants, and she dotes on others. Her past with practical jokes and mishaps with a paintball gun give the tenants cause for worry and concern about Granny's mind. Granny is just different, she insists. And Granny makes it clear to Elsa that she is different too. They have played a game for years, just the two of them, about kingdoms in the Land-of-Almost-Awake. It is here, Elsa finds, that she has the greatest adventures of her life with her beloved grandmother and all the creatures and fairy tales that Granny tells her about.
