Gangsta Granny, from Children’s author David Walliams.

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 would recommend this book to any kid who doesn't think much of their grandma.Who knows , maybe she is a gangster and is planning to get the crown of jewels . But the saddest bit of the story was when the granny dies at the end of the story from cancer.

Heartwarming and Hilarious as you would expect when written by David Walliams. This such a classic granny but...as a thief. Her and her grandson Ben go on a fabulous adventure to steal the crown jewels until bumping in to someone. This book has a variety of emotions such as exciting but sad. By the end you feel emotionally filled with the aspect if love for family. Thus is an amazing book followed by Gangsta Granny strikes again which is also amazing. Do read this cause it's amazing rated 5 stars

İt was a thrilling book full of funny moments. İt had a really unexpected ending, which İ didn't really like, and a great plot. İt had really unrealistic parts in it, which felt out of place. Overall, it was really good.

I think it's a great book because it tells you never to call someone boring as they might lie to you about being a gangsta and you might end up in the tower of London with the king and your granny and your granny has cancer

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.
