Alan Brough: "Humour helps you understand the world in different ways."

Alan Brough is chuffed when I tell him that my 13-year-old son, my reluctant reader, loved his new book Charlie and the War Against the Grannies. It might have had something to do with the title; my son had something of a run in with one of his grannies in recent times; but it was high praise indeed when he deemed the book "not boring".
