Gangsta Granny by David Walliams
Story by David Walliams and illustrated by Tony Ross
Ben is an eleven year old boy who has to stay with his granny every Friday night as his parents are big fans of ballroom dancing and go every Friday night, leaving him to stay with granny. Ben finds this really boring and would rather be home, Granny eats lots of cabbage and wants to play scrabble all the time.
Ben mistakenly finds a selection of Jewellery hidden away. He is then intrigued about his Granny and when spying on her stops her breaking into a Jewellers. This leads to Granny explaining how she is an international jewels thief and Ben is amazed to find out that his granny isn't boring after all, she isn’t a regular granny!
Ben and granny go on a jewel quest, to steal the crown jewels and from here the adventure begins, there are lots of funny parts with some sad too, lovely story to share with children.
This is a fun book to read with great illustrations to go with the story, another David Walliams book with great humour for children and adults to enjoy.
