Grandpa’s Great Escape follows the touching bond between a boy named Jack and his spirited grandfather, as they plot an audacious escape from a sinister care home. Meanwhile, in Awful Auntie, young Stella Saxby, sole heir to Saxby Hall, has a secret and slightly spooky weapon against her awful Aunt Alberta and her giant owl.
