This is a touching, funny look into a boy's close relationship with his grandfather, "Gramps", a man who took the place of a father for his grandson.
When Gramps is sent to live in a nursing home, grandson Marty is sick at heart. But when his teacher tells the class to write a letter to a famous person, Marty decides to write to Napoleon who, of course, cannot answer. But on a visit to the nursing home, Gramps tells Marty of a secret mail room to travel through time! Is this another one of Gramps tall tales, or is this mail room really real?
I would definitely recommend this book. 9+ for reading level, but appropriate for any age.
