Another hilarious and moving novel from David Walliams, number one bestseller and fastest growing children’s author in the country. A story of prejudice and acceptance, funny lists and silly words, this new book has all the hallmarks of David’s previous bestsellers. Our hero Ben is bored beyond belief after he is made to stay at his grandma’s house. She’s the boringest grandma ever: all she wants to do is to play Scrabble, and eat cabbage soup. But there are two things Ben doesn’t know about his grandma. 1) She was once an international jewel thief. 2) All her life, she has been plotting to steal the Crown Jewels, and now she needs Ben’s help…

I recomend this book because it is mysterious and funny. At the same time it is very silly because the queen shows her knickers at the end that is why I love this book.

This book is a fiction. I liked the character of Granny the most because she is an international jewel thief. She likes Murray-mints just like I do. She is very nice and a gangster but she smells of cabbage, she carries cabbage soup everywhere with her - this is something funny about the book. I will recommend this book to someone who hasn't read it yet.

Gangsta Granny is very funny. This book and other David Walliams books are my favourite and Diary of A Wimpy Kid. I like this book becusse we think she is a stealer and not many Granny will do that.

Amazing and interesting, this beautifully heart-warming tale of a not so normal kid called Ben, and his Granny, who seems as ordinary as ever, with tissue stuffed up her sleeves, and nauseating pink cardigans for every-day wear, and love of scrabble and cats, and of course, being an international jewel thief in diguise... WAIT, WHAT? When Ben is left at his Grandmothers house on a Friday night, when his parents are busy ballroom dancing, he discovers a biscuit tin filled with sparkling, beautiful jewels, that is hidden away on top of the refridgerator (Great hiding spot!), he discovers his Grannies darkest secret... AND THEY PLOT TO STEAL SOMETHING MORE... Will the wonderous Black cat and Ben, make it away with THE CROWN JEWELS? A must read tale full of David Walliams explicit humour and fun, adventure and family. Anyone can read.
