Excerpt from Book An Excerpt from The War with Grandpa This is the true and real story of what happened when Grandpa came to live with us and took my room and how I went to war with him and him with me and what happened after that. I am typing it out on paper without lines on my dads typewriter because Mrs. Klein, shes my 5th grade English teacher, said that we should write a story about something important that happened to us and to tell it "true and real" and put in words that peoples said if we can remember and to put quote marks around them and everything.... My little sister, Jennifer, just came in and asked me what Im doing and I told her.... "I think you should begin with me," Jenny said, "because I found out Grandpa was coming to live here before you even knew about it." "Good idea," I said. "And put in the story that I am very beautiful with long blond hair and lovely blue eyes." "I just did." "Now youll have a good story," she said.
