A sweet, funny and lovely short story about a girl grieving her grandad who used to own an ice-cream van. Involves time travel as part of the adventure. Would recommend for fellow ice cream lovers and any children (+adults!) who want a fun quick-read.

Her granddad was an ice-cream man and always told her wonderful stories from the ancient Egypt and dinosaurs. Since her granddad died, she eats ice-cream every night, but one day their freezer broke and all the goodness was gone. To still remember her granddad Izzy goes to his blue ice-cream van and discovers mysterious things.
This book is a really short read, but absolutely cute. It's about time travel and a very deep love within a family. It was absolutely gorgeous. Tom Fletcher is writing really amazing books for children. And adults too. It just warms your heart reading about children who do great things and have adventures.
And I won't start talking about how amazing the illustration is. But okay, the pictures in the book are so wonderful. They make everything so alive.

A cute story. I found her conversations with Tummy and Brain really annoying though.
