A Halloween visit turns Colin’s home upside down

Colin and Duck have made a shared life in their castle, built around gardening, trampolining and movie nights. Grandma’s arrival disrupts that routine: her habits are distinctly different, she brings a pet crocodile, and she insists Duck must leave. The conflict gives the story a family-centered frame for questions of compromise, change and speaking up for someone important. Its vampire-and-duck pairing sets up the clash, while the visit from Grandma brings the stakes close to home.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 interested in Halloween-themed fiction.
  • Young readers who enjoy stories about unusual friendships and family visits.
  • Families looking for a story about standing up for a friend.

Book overview

Colin and Duck have finally settled into their castle.

Vampires and ducks don't always get along, but Colin and Duck have discovered they have lots in common--they love gardening, trampolining and watching movies together. Colin is so excited when his grandma comes to stay, but before long Colin realizes that Grandma likes things done a certain way: she sleeps in the day, prefers cobwebs to cleaning, and even has a pet CROCODILE!

Worst of all, Grandma says that Duck has got to go. What's a vampire to do?

Colin's Grandma is a hilarious story about family, growing up, and standing up for yourself.
