Grandma McGarvey (always ready to try something new) decides to give ‘Surfing for Seniors’ a try, and is shocked to find that it doesn’t involve the sea at all! And that words like Net, Google, Blackberry and mouse have developed new meanings, totally foreign to her. However, in her own inimitable manner, she triumphs in the end when someone discovers her on a webpage of her own!
This is the eleventh title in the Grandma McGarvey series that has been around for over 20 years. Kids will find it hilarious that Grandma doesn’t even know what a mouse is, or what googling means. Plenty of humour here!
