Skye and Harry discover Gran isn’t quite as strict as Dad makes out in this funny family story from multi-award-winning author Anne Fine.

He Says…She Says tells the tale of Skye and Harry, who are dreading going to visit their gran, as Dad says she was so strict when he was young. He had to do lots of chores, wasn’t allowed much screen time, and only had sweet treats on a Sunday! However, upon their arrival, Gran turns out to be much more chilled out than they expected. She lets them relax in the garden and play on their games consoles.

On their way home, Harry wants to confront his dad, but Skye sees an opportunity.

Particularly suitable for readers aged 7+ with a reading age of 7.
