Granddad gets so disappointed with Sally when she comes in from playing outside looking like a mess. She usually has leaves in her hair, bugs on her face, and twigs behind her ears. Sally would love to please her Granddad, but how can you climb trees, fight dragons, and make forts without getting a little dirty. Granddad tells Sally that when he was her age, he never got so filthy...or did he? When Sally accidently winds Granddad's watch backwards, Granddad goes back in time to when he was a child. It is then that we discover the real truth about Grandpa. The young reader will be able to identify with this fun-loving little girl and her Granddad in, 'The Backwards Watch' by Eric Houghton.
