Items related to Top-Secret Grandad and Me: Death by Tumble Dryer
You'd think a ghost grandpa would be a great sidekick for a wannabe detective. Unfortunately, if there was a 'being a good ghost' exam, Jay’s grandpa would fail spectacularly -- he hates walking through walls, he can't touch anything and he's rubbish at haunting.
Since his dad literally did a vanishing act (he's a magician), Jay Patel has turned detective, and now, with the help of his grandpa, he's on the case of a dead body that vanished from the library of his Glasgow primary school.
But what do diamonds, blackmail and dodgy launderettes have to do with it?
David Walliams meets Agatha Christie in the first book of a new laugh-out-loud, weird-and-wacky mystery series for younger readers by the author of Thorfinn the Nicest Viking.

About the Author:
David MacPhail left home at eighteen to travel the world and have adventures. After working as a chicken wrangler, a ghost-tour guide and a waiter on a tropical island, he now has the sensible job of writing about yetis, Vikings and ghostly detectives. At home in Perthshire, Scotland, he exists on a diet of cream buns and zombie movies. David is also the author of Yeti on the Loose and the Thorfinn the Nicest Viking series. Laura Avi is an illustrator who lives in Barcelona, Spain.
Review:
'It's lots of fun and young readers who enjoy a mystery story filled with ghosts and lots of laughs need look no further. The story whizzes along and is guaranteed to be a page-turner.'
– Armadillo
'This is a brilliant book – fast-moving and funny, despite the very villainous villians. The relationship between Jay and his grandad is wonderfully written. A very, very enjoyable book.'
– Carousel
