My Grandpa Has Superpowers David Fankushen

A loving grandfather discovers he has supernatural powers similar to those of kabbalistic masters of the past. He employs his special abilities to assist his grandchildren to cope with difficulties that beset them through no fault of their own. These include an unappreciative teacher, a stolen bike, cramping during sporting events, and a basketball opponent who is much too tall and skilled for his league. While the story reveals many aspects of Jewish mysticism, the problems the children encounter are those common to many twenty-first-century kids. The grandfather offers age-old remedies for modern predicaments.
