But then he has a stroke and actually has to come live with them. Popsicle, as she calls him, is impossible to live with: moody, forgetful, clumsy. Only Cessie loves him and believes in him.
So when he is sent off to a home for the elderly, she helps him escape and plays First Mate to him on a dramatic night-time boat trip across the English Channel to unravel a secret only the two of them know.
This Morpurgo story makes the reader want to cheer: young people, the elderly, and courage at any age.
