# I Wanna Go Home - Hardcover

by **Karen Kaufman Orloff** (Author), **David Catrow** (Illustrator)

Another hilarious companion to _I Wanna Iguana_.

Alex is _not_ happy about being sent to his grandparents' retirement community while his parents go on a fabulous vacation. What could be worse than tagging along to Grandma's boring bridge game or enduring the sight of Grandpa's dentures?

But as the week goes on, Alex's desperate emails to his parents turn into stories about ice cream before dinner and stickball with Grandpa. Before he knows it, Alex has made a surprising discovery: grandparents are _way_ cooler than he thought

Masterfully balancing hilarity and heart, Karen Kaufman Orloff and Dave Catrow deliver a story sure to entertain kids and grandparents everywhere.
