Lucy Marbles's grandad wears a suit of armour. Not just sometimes, but all day, every day. (He sometimes even wears it underneath his pyjamas at night!) He clank-clank-clanks about doing his Lollipop Man duty, and is always toppling over...much to Lucy's huge embarrassment. She wonders why her grandad can't be normal - it's not as if there are any dragons or monsters in Moonwood...Wacky characters and a really engaging style make this a compelling and enjoyable read from a new writing talent.
