(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Tony Ross. Walliams blends a Roald Dahl–ian anti-authoritarian mindset and wild imagination in this zany tale of a boy and his confused grandfather bucking the system. Grandpa, who thinks he's a WWII Wing Commander still living in 1940, enlists Jack's aid in stealing a Spitfire to escape the old-age home. An entertaining romp, with black-and-white illustrations aptly reminiscent of Quentin Blake's. Glos.
