Have you ever wondered where the other sock goes, or those keys or your earring or pen? Grandad wonders that all the time.
Things keep disappearing down the back of Grandad's sofa -- who, or what, has taken them?
When Lenny and Grandad discover the Kleptoes and their hideout, things turn nasty. And Kleptoes can be very nasty indeed ... especially Old Mother Kleptoe.

Praise for Mad Grandad and the Kleptoes
'With a real sense of zany fun, is Oisin McGann’s Mad Grandad series.' Sunday Independent
'With his big square glasses, bulbous nose and free-flying eyebrows, McGann’s Grandad is a truly original creation. The illustrations, drawn from interesting perspectives, are imaginative and full of detail' Books Ireland
'YEAH!!! Mad Grandad's back and this is his best adventure yet. Pretty scary stuff, this is the Borrowers with malice, and makes for a great yarn for young readers gaining confidence in tackling full-length books.' Evening Echo
