I really enjoyed this book for three reasons. I like that it was written in English, but included words in Swedish. For example, when Martha gives Grampie his birthday gift, he says “tack så mycket”, which means thank you. Martha replies “var så god” which means you’re welcome. I also liked the plot of the story. It built up the suspense of visiting Grampie, and allowing readers to infer why he lives where he lives and has his conditions. For example, Martha describes their drive from home to Grampie’s passing her aunt and uncle’s house, saying “they used to go there for Sunday dinner sometimes when Grampie had been able to come along. Finally, I enjoyed the illustrations. They showed the strong bond and love in the family, even though they spoke different languages, were of different age, and had different abilities. ( )
