Books with title Grandfathers Chair

IN writing this ponderous tome, the author's desire has been to describe the eminent characters and remarkable events of our annals in such a form and style that the YOUNG may make acquaintance with them of their own accord. For this purpose, while ostensibly relating the adventures of a chair, he has endeavored to keep a distinct and unbroken thread of authentic history. The chair is made to pass from one to another of those personages of whom he thought it most desirable for the young reader to have vivid and familiar ideas, and whose lives and actions would best enable him to give picturesque sketches of the times. On its sturdy oaken legs it trudges diligently from one scene to another, and seems always to thrust itself in the way, with most benign complacency, whenever an historical personage happens to be looking round for a seat.

But when an underground group of “lunatics” find him, telling him he’s in danger while also successfully predicting the president’s death, Carsyn is offered a new future. He leaves his past, makes a few friends, and soon learns of his connection with Grandfather, a group of extremists who are secretly taking control of the government. He finds himself unexpectedly intertwined with the infamous group, learning how dangerous they truly are. Carsyn starts to care about the world, wanting others to see what’s truly happening within the government. He wants to help the underground group destroy Grandfather. Nothing goes as planned, and Carsyn must ask himself if all he did was make things worse. Grandfather is a Ya Pre-Apocalyptic novel that focuses on events leading up to a dystopian society rather than the rebellion and fall of power.
