- Synopsis
- Ruddy loves trucks and computer games and playing outside. Grandmother Silk loves high heels and Masterpiece Theatre. And she doesn't like noise. Neither of them thinks they have much in common, but when a surprise snowstorm comes howling through, Ruddy and his grandmother are stranded. Can surviving together turn them into friends? Ruddy's grandmother isn't much fun. She calls him Rudford, and she doesn't like noise or dirt or television. When Ruddy's parents go on a cruise and leave him with Grandmother Silk, Ruddy knows it's going to be a loooong ten days. Then a snowstorm comes howling through. Ruddy and his grandmother are left without light, heat, and water-and they have no one to talk to but each other. Slowly, with the help of a chessboard, the moon, and a gorilla suit, they reach out to each other in surprising ways. Partly a survival story, this is mostly a tale of two people who think they aren't alike at all-until they look for the things they have in common. Photos described.
