When Grandma McGarvey decides to try 'Surfing for Seniors', it's not what she expects! 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!
A former high school English teacher, Hamilton author Jenny is best known for her Grandma McGarvey character. A full-time illustrator, Trevor Pye has made Grandma McGarvey what she is today, along with numerous other picture book and novel characters.
