No Place for Grubbs
Max Dann
Puffin 1998
My name is Charles Grubb.
I'm just an ordinary kid but I do like to have things tidy. My room is so
clean!
But the rest of my family is extremely untidy. The dishes are never washed, there is
junk all over the place and the television in the lounge room has not
worked since 1983? What will I do about them? How will we win the
Tidy Town competition?
That is just a taste of my family but read the book and you will be thrilled.

Why
does Charles Grubb go to the Hall of Records to see if there had been a
mix-up at his birth?
| Charles Grubb went to the
Hall Of Records to see if he was from the right family because his
family were grubs and he was tidy and neat. Area 11. Rostrata |
| Charles went to the Hall
of Records to make sure he was not adopted. He was so tidy and his
parents were so messy. He went to see if he was not mixed up at
birth because he was so different. He felt like he didn't fit in
with his parents or his cousins the Sluggs or Aunty and Uncle Slobb
like on page 10. Perky Parky Rappers |
| Charles Grubb goes to the
hall of records to see if there had been a mix up with his birth
bescause he was totally different to his parents. He, Charles Grubb,
was very clean just like the rest ofTidyville,however his parents
were disgustingly dirty!!! All Saints, WA |
| Because Charles is
so clean and the rest of his family
(the Grubbs) are so messy so he went to the Hall to see if the
Grubbs are his real
family. JSR Rappers |
Why
does the Mayor want Charles to get his parents to change their ways?
| The mayor is desperate to
win the tidy town awards. He says runner up is not good enough. All Saints, WA |
| The Mayor wants Charles
to change his parents' ways because he wants Tidyville to win the
Tidy Town Award and Charles' parents are ruining his town's
reputation by being slobs. Area 11 Rostrata |
| So he can win first prize
in the tidiest town award. Perky Parker Rappers |
| Because they are
Grubbs. The Mayor wanted Charles to
get the Golden Pan and
Brush. So tidy town could win the Tidy Town Prize. JSR GreatGuys

Why
did Charles Grubb dislike it when his parents were tidy?
| It is no fun having clean parents, or
having to hang up your cardigan when you preferred to fold them.
Charles wanted his messy parents back. It's time to invite the slobs
and uncle and aunty Slugg in the house for some JELLY!!! All Saints, WA |
| There wasn't much to do at home since
his dad had ruined all his favourite things like his bike Perky Parky Rappers |
If the Tidy Town Committee returned to
Tidyville a year later, what might they have seen?
| It would be the messiest
town in the state or the world !!!! Perky Parky Rappers |
| The Grubbs might
have been worse than ever and they would
probably run again. JSR Great Guys |
