This was a great book because grandma disappears

I think George's marvellous medicine is a good book for children who like experimenting and my favourite part was when Mr killy cranky said that george will become famous and rich and own a factory. The medicine made Grandma shot up like a rocket.

A story of a boy who created a marvellous medicine to take revenge from his evil grandmother.
It’s very interesting because it’s tell how George created a medicine that make the grand mom so tall.

It is a fiction book. It is about a mean grandma and George. He made medicine and his grandma got bigger and bigger and broke the roof.

I would ask my for friends to read it because they'll like the Grandma being big.

I love the part when George makes the medicine for his grandma and she becomes enormous and her head goes out of the roof. Children would love this book because it is very funny.

03 Jan 2025

This story was fiction. I kind of likes Grandma because she's really sneaky and scares George's socks off! George gives her payback by making a medicine out of everything he can find in the house, then he makes it brown like her medicine, gives it to her and she grows bigger than a sky scraper!
