About the Books
This collection gathers three standalone novels united by Jenny Pearson's signature blend of comedy and emotional depth. In Grandpa Frank's Great Big Bucket List, Frank unexpectedly inherits a fortune from a grandmother he never knew, along with strict instructions to care for a grumpy new grandpa. Together they compile a bucket list of wild experiences, from hot-air balloon rides to monster-truck lessons, as Frank discovers that the best things in life can't be bought. The Incredible Record Smashers follows Lucy, a girl skilled at fixing broken things who can't fix the one thing that matters most: her unhappy mom. With best friend Sandesh by her side, Lucy hatches a plan involving a shot at a Guinness World Record and a chance encounter with a well-known TV host who might hold the key to her mom's happiness. The Super-Miraculous Journey of Freddie Yates, Pearson's award-winning debut, introduces Freddie, a boy obsessed with facts who sets out on a cross-country trip after learning his biological father might still be alive in Wales. Along the way, he learns that some facts matter more than others, and that family can take unexpected forms. Together these three standalone stories showcase Pearson's talent for weaving comedy, heart, and genuine emotion into tales that resonate with young readers navigating family, loss, friendship, and the search for happiness.
