Paradise Lodge: Nina Stibbe

Working in a care home is not really a suitable job for a schoolgirl but 15-year-old Lizzie Vogel went for it. It just seemed too exhausting to commit to being a full-time girlfriend or a punk (it is the 1970s after all), plus she has some knowledge of old people. They`re not suited to granary bread, and you mustn`t compare them to toddlers, but she doesn`t know there`s a right way to get someone out of the bath - or what to do when someone dies.

When a rival old people`s home with better parking and daily chairobics threatens to take all their residents, Paradise Lodge`s cast of staff and helpers have to come together to save the home before it`s too late.

From the bestselling author of Love, Nina comes a story of being very young, and very old, and the laughter and tears in between.
