Eighty-five-year-old Hendrik Groen is fed up to his false teeth
with coffee mornings and bingo. __________ Along with fellow
members of the Old-But-Not-Dead Club, he embarks on a wild spree of
octogenarian anarchy. But the home's director will not stand for
any more drunken bar crawls, illicit fireworks or geriatric
romance. The good name of the care home will not be disgraced. But
when Hendrik learns of a plan to close the home down he realises
life outside it could be much worse. He and the gang must stop the
closure before it's too late. Or drop dead trying . . . __________
