The ACB with Honora Lee, by Kate De Goldi

Perry leaned into Gran and blew gently on her cheek. "Gran," she said, "Gran? Who am I?"
"Well," said Gran tartly, "If you don't know, I can't help you!"

Perry's Gran can't remember things as well as she used to.

She decides to make an alphabet book of everything and everyone in Santa Lucia.

Perry tries her best to help her Gran learn who everyone is, including herself.

Will Perry's Gran find a way through the alphabet and learn, or not?
