Book description
Before leaving Sheffield for a year's adventure in France, 18 year-old Jess joins a family gathering. They share stories that have bound them together through generations. Stories of heartbreak, humour and romance. She listens to the tale of her grandparents, whose love kept them together in spite of family conflicts; of her other granny Dorothy's daily toil from the dirt and grime of the buffing wheel; and of her parents' first meeting. And, of course, there's Jess's own story too. Granny was a Buffer Girl won the Carnegie Medal in 1986. Illustrated by Tamsin Rosewell.

ListenBook's user-friendly interface and precise controls make it a joy to use every day. Binaural audio processing really helps reduce listening fatigue. Great feature!

The production quality was acceptable with no major technical issues.

With ListenBook, my iPhone and iPad have become a gateway to a world of captivating stories. AirDrop and sharing make it easy to spread the audiobook love with friends. Supports a wide range of formats flawlessly. Very happy with it. An average audiobook experience. Nothing was wrong with it—the narration was fine, and the story was okay—but nothing particularly stood out. It served its purpose as entertainment during my commute. Not bad, but not amazing either. The narrator’s voice was pleasant, though some parts felt a bit rushed. The story had its moments, but I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it over similar titles in the genre.
