Danny Chung Does Not Do Maths
Description
Danny Chung is pretty happy with life, apart from being hassled by Mama and Baba about focusing more on his maths and schoolwork, and putting up with lectures about 'the Chinese Way'. But Danny's life is turned upside down when a 'surprise' that he's been promised turns out to be his little, wrinkly grandmother from China. What's worse, Nai-Nai has to share his room, AND she takes the top bunk! Nai-Nai can't speak a word of English, which doesn't make things easy for Danny when he is charged with looking after her during his school holidays. And all Danny wants to do is draw - he certainly does not want to take part in the maths competition that's been thrust upon his class by their teacher. But instead he's got to babysit Nai-Nai, taking her to bowls and bingo - where he soon discovers not everyone is as welcoming as he expected. Before long it becomes clear to Danny that there is more to Nai-Nai than meets the eye, and that they have more in common that he thought possible.
