I liked this book because it reminds me of my nana. I liked how the pirate threw her handbag at the skeletons and the skeletons fell apart.

I love the bit where she fights the skeletons and throws her handbag in their face its very funny! I liked the pictures too!

I liked how Granny is brave and she fought the skeletons because generally grannies are weak and wrinkly. I think I would recommend it to people who love pirates!

The boy had to keep his granny's secret but he told them. The other pirates were scared of granny - she threw her handbag at some skeletons!
