The Grandma Hunt

Every summer Jacob spends a week with his grandfather in the country. They usually have a great time together, but this year his cousin Linnea shows up, too. At first Jacob's upset because she seems to be getting all of Grandpa's attention. But soon he and Linnea become friends, united by the idea that Grandpa-who is turning either ninety-six or sixty-nine, they don't know which, needs a grandma.
