"Marjorie sprinkled some flour,
perched some glasses, and with a
few floral scarves knotted, some
lavender perfume spritzed, and
her Mom's woolly cardigan
buttoned, she was Undercover
Granny!"
Marjorie knows what she likes: gardening, knitting, and watching baking shows. Just like her Granny did. Her friends are fine, but they don't get excited about the same things. She has no one to turn to for help when she has questions now that Granny is gone. She misses her immensely.
When she reads a sign at the Community Center that says the seniors' group is looking for new members, she thinks she has found her people! Wanting to join the group, she heads on over. What? Only for seniors? If she wants to stay at the Center, she can go to Kids Club.
Not satisfied with being turned away, Marjorie is determined to find a way to join the seniors. She would be just like her Granny was if she ever faced an obstacle. All it will take is a little ingenuity. Camouflage should work. Marjorie is quickly accepted as one of the group ... until dancing is the activity of the day. Her real identity is discovered, much to her chagrin. What will her 'old' friends say? A surprise ending is sure to elicit a quiet giggle.

"On the outside we may look old,
but on the inside, we still feel like
kids. Just like you."
