About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is struggling with a loss of autonomy or feeling resentful about a major household change, like a relative moving in or a room swap. This story validates the very real frustration children feel when their personal space is encroached upon, while also exploring the complexities of aging and family duty. Through the lens of a humorous prank war, the book addresses empathy, the boundaries of respect, and how to navigate anger without destroying relationships. While the premise is comedic, it provides a safe space to discuss the transition of a grandparent moving from independent living to a multigenerational home. It is perfectly suited for children aged 8 to 12 who are beginning to advocate for their own needs but still require guidance on how to do so respectfully. It is an excellent choice for families undergoing similar transitions or for parents who want to foster a deeper understanding of 'fairness' versus 'necessity' in family life.
