Bookroo's summary
Peter's excitement turns to frustration when his grandpa takes over his room. Determined to reclaim his space, Peter enlists his friends in a series of pranks to drive Grandpa out. But Grandpa is no pushover and retaliates with his own tricks. As the battle escalates, Peter must decide if winning is worth losing their bond. Can they find peace before their war spirals out of control? This humorous tale explores the challenges of family dynamics and the lessons learned from conflict.
