Every Saturday Perry and her father visit her gran, Honora Lee, at the Santa Lucia retirement home. But Gran never remembers them. Like Perry, Honora Lee is 'unconventional'; she is also sharp, outspoken, and full of surprises. So when Perry discovers that Honora Lee has an avid interest in in the alphabet, she decides that together they will compile an ABC of life at Santa Lucia. Of course Honora Lee's 'ABC' is entrancingly unpredictable and disorderly, so it's up to Perry to take the reins.

Work Description
"Perry's mother and father are busy people ... they're impatient, they're tired, they get cross easily. And they think that only children, like Perry, should be kept busy. On Saturday mornings Perry and her father visit her gran, Honora Lee, at the Santa Lucia rest home, but Gran never remembers them. 'Who is that man?' Honora Lee asks when Perry's father leaves the room. After movement class is abruptly cancelled, Perry is allowed to go to Santa Lucia on Thursday afternoons. She discovers her Gran has an unconventional interest in the alphabet, so Perry decides to make an alphabet book with the help of Honora and the others. Soon everyone is interested in Perry's book project"--
