Grandma Bendy

Author: Izy Penguin

This is a cautionary tale about Grandma Bendy, a very unusual lady who uses her astonishing bendiness to burgle houses – until she gets a taste of her own medicine. After a spell in prison she comes out determined not to use her skills again but then a neighbour locked out of her house needs help… After that, Grandma uses her chewing gum arms to help people in an amusing variety of ways. This naughty story is decorated with quirky, original drawings in a fast and funny comic strip style.
