When a purler of a storm tears apart the campground, champion knitter Granny McFlitter is determined to stitch it back together. But there’s a bothersome goat chasing after her tasty knitting, and she’ll need to be more creative than ever before... Kids will love this wild-weather adventure from the award-winning creators of Granny McFlitter!

Can our favourite champion knitter use her speedy needles to turn a stormy beach holiday into a triumph?

Granny McFlitter is ready for some sun and surf! She hitches up her caravan and heads to the coast, but camping soon proves anything but relaxing when her tasty knitting attracts a troublesome billy goat. And far worse is in store:
That night there was chaos - tents tossed to the ground,
the wind flinging fistfuls of leaves all around.

Wild weather wrecks the campground, and Granny needs an assistant to help her stitch all the unhappy campers' vacations back together. And this is where Guzzle the goat can put his talents to good use...

With bouncing rhyme and exuberant illustrations from the award-winning Heather Haylock and Lael Chisholm, Granny McFlitter's charming fifth adventure proves that even the wildest, stormiest vacation can be a triumph when you have knitting needles and a good angora jumper to hand!

About the authors

Heather Haylock

As a child, Heather Haylock could often be found reading a book while sitting on her horse, or perched way up high in a tree. Nowadays Heather loves the challenge of knitting words into stories of her own.

She is the author of Granny McFlitter the Champion Knitter (2018), which won a Storylines Notable Book Award 2019 and was shortlisted for the Best Picture Book category of the New Zealand Book Awards for Children and Young Adults. Its sequels, Granny McFlitter: A Country Yarn (2019) and Granny McFlitter: The Knit Before Christmas (2022) were awarded Storylines Notable Picture Book Awards. Granny McFlitter's Eggcellent Easter (2023) is the crafty character's latest adventure.

Thanks to all her research for the Granny McFlitter stories, Heather is also now able to knit yarn into jumpers and other clever shapes. If you want to find her, try looking up. She may be reading, writing or knitting way up high in a tree.

Praise for Granny McFlitter Stitches Up a Storm

After a week of demanding nightly re-reads, my four year old had learned the words ‘belched, ‘mangled’ and ‘chaos’. This book is now firmly lodged in our regular rotation, and I cannot recommend it highly enough! Perfect for fans of Grandma McGarvey, Kuwi the Kiwi and Hairy Maclary.
