George's Marvellous Medicine is a marvellous book. :-)
It is about a boy called George who hates his grandmom who keeps arguing about silly things that can't be done. Take for example:She told George that he is growing too fast and should stop growing by eating cholocate. This was because she beleived that eating chocolate makes you grow the wrong side up instead of down.
Now tell me what to do with a grandma like this? Even George didn't know what to do.So up came George's brain to a work mode. So he started making a medicine to deal with grandma. As he anyways had to give her- her medicine at 11:00 which was one hour to go.
He started by going to the bathroom first and put all kinds of things like shampoo,aftershave, animal pills, syrups and all kinds of wierd things. I guess he wanted to make a medicine to cleance his grandma's mind.
The medicine had the effect of making his grandma very very tall ... the second round of medicine made her very very tiny.... In the end she dissapears.
While this is not an ideal way of dealing with irritating grandma's , the book is nevertheless funny and at imes inspiring :-))
