Books with title Grandfather's Story

ISABELLA, is the granddaughter of traditional story teller. From the time, she could remember her Grandfather telling her stories of a past that had nothing to do with her, at least that is what she thought. Isabella learns that her Grandfather SANI YOUNGBLOOD not only told stories that he learned he told her and her cousin ANDRES stories of his own past. Sani told them stories he thought would teach them not to rely on electronics so much. He wanted to teach them that the old ways of living aren’t as horrible and forgotten as they presumed they were. The fact that he lives on his own and grows most of his own food makes his grandchildren wonder why.One night as their parents go out to have fun they leave Andres, Isabella and their friend COLIN at their Grandfather’s house. Colin hears the story that their Grandfather says that night and comes to the conclusion that he wants to help Isabella find out the truth behind the story. During Isabella’s research, she finds out that one of the stories that her Grandfather tells may actually come from his own past. She uncovers article’s that were written about him and two of his friends. The most interesting thing Isabella finds out about the article’s is that only her Grandfather and one of his friends return.In the hunt for the truth they meet a Professor who directs them to some books that he thinks will help them in understanding and figuring out the truth of their Grandfather’s story. However, Colin and the Professor bring up a question that Isabella and Andres had never thought about. The Professor challenges them to confronting and questioning their Grandfather about the articles and finding out what really happened. They attempt to talk with their Grandfather but they find that to be harder then what they originally thought. Although they are able to talk to him when he comes to visit, they never actually get a chance to go back to his home and question him without their parents present. Isabella slowly begins to think that her Grandfather is hiding something that he doesn’t want any of his family to find out. Isabella decides that since they can’t talk to their Grandfather they might as well try and find out if his story is true and the begin their hunt. It takes them several tries but with Andres, Isabella and Colin doing research they find out they don’t need to chase anything they just need to pinpoint the perfect spot. Eventually they realize that the perfect spot is at their Grandfather’s house next to the lake he once told them was the key to never getting lost. During their final hunt they come face to face with a portion of their Grandfather’s story and begin to learn that not every story is myth. As their Grandfather had told them they soon had to make a decision about what they wanted to do. They could either stay and not find out if the rest of the story was true or they could continue on and find out how much was real. Each one had to make their own decision and realized they couldn’t rely on the others for this one choice. In the end they all make the same decision and find out everything their Grandfather had been trying to teach them was gonna be the only thing to help them survive. Eventually they find out that they must make their way back home relying only on each other and if the story is true on the help of a certain few others. Their Grandfather knows what happened to his grandchildren and their friend and does his best to hide the truth from their parents. It’s the one thing he had hoped would happen but he also hoped that they would find their way back faster than he did. He sent a small request to the stars that they help lead his grandchildren back home fast and without having to face all the obstacles that he had had too. However, if they did face them he hoped they had listened to him all the times he had repeated his own story.
