But when Tim and his sister Beth make a horrifying discovery about their visitor, they realise that the safety of the entire planet is in jeopardy, and the silent invasion has already started.įirst published in 1973, GRINNY is a forgotten favourite, brought back to life by Hot Key Books and introduced by Malorie Blackman. Nicknamed 'Grinny' for her constant eerie smile and mindless chatter, at first their aunt seems to be strange but harmless. Tim's diary charts the arrival of his mysterious Great Aunt Emma, an old lady who appears grinning on his doorstep and decides to stay. The more I wrote, the more certain it seemed that the horror was true and would get worse. Everything I had written seemed to add up to something horrible. Later on, it all turned sour and I used to be almost frightened of the diary and writing the next page. The birthrate is falling following a nuclear power plant leak, and the government have begun manufacturing 'Reborns', new people from old. This book is based on my diary and other writings of the Aunt Emma period.
