Twelve-year-old Joe Warden isn?t happy. Sure, he?s rich, but his parents don?t care about him. His grandmother should make everything better, except that Joe?s Granny is a nightmare. She?s not just physically repulsive, she?s horribly mean. Everyone thinks she?s just a dotty old woman, but Joe knows the truth.

He?s seen behind her mask and glimpsed the wicked glimmer in her eyes ? she is pure evil. And now she?s out to get Joe, unless he can stop her and her band of nasty grannies first.
