I read the fantastic book called War with Grandpa by Robert Smith. This
book is about when Peters Gr andpa moves in and Peter is forced to into a
horrible room in Attic. The setting is mainly in Peters house. The
characters are Peter, Grandpa, Peters Mom, Peters Dad, and Jennifer.
Grandpa moves in because he is lonely since his wife died. Pete moves
upstairs to the attic because Grandpas leg is to bad to walk a flight of
stairs. In the beginning, Peter declares war on Grandpa because he wants
his room back, but Grandpa tries to convince him that the war is pointless.
In the middle, the real War with Grandpa happens because they play
pranks on each other. For example Peter steals Grandpas special watch
and Grandpa steals and Grandpa steals Peters Monopoly game pieces. In
the end, Peter loses the war but things work out for both Peter and
Grandpa
There are very important themes in this book, One theme is that war is
horrible and things should be talked out. One event that supports this
theme is when Grandpa got his revenge; Peter suffered by being late for
school. Another theme is that life isnt always fair. Peter lost his room and
complained too much. Life isnt always fair for Grandpa either because his
wife died. I recommend this book to kids ages nine to twelve because it is
funny, inspiring, and, interesting. The book is funny because the pranks
are hilarious and they remind me of something kids my age would do.
