On the Bright Side: The New Secret Diary of Hendrik Groen, 85 Years Old

written by Hendrik Groen, translated by Hester Velmans

In the acclaimed follow-up to the number-one international bestseller THE SECRET DIARY OF HENDRIK GROEN, everyone's favorite curmudgeon is back and as funny and charming as ever with the newest adventures of the Old-But-Not-Dead Club --- for fans of Fredrik Backman and Graeme Simsion.

Everyone's favorite octogenarian is back, and together with his pals in the Old-But-Not-Dead Club, he is more determined than ever to wreak havoc and turn a twinkly eye on the brighter side of life.

After a year spent mourning the death of his beloved friend, Eefje, Hendrik may be older and a little more wobbly, but his youthful appetite for mischief hasn't diminished. When fears arise that the home is set for demolition, it's up to Hendrik and the Old-But-Not-Dead Club to intervene.
