Gangsta Granny by David Walliams
Published by HarperCollins Children’s Books 2011

Little Britain co-writer David Walliams is fast becoming established as the next Roald Dahl. For laugh out loud slap-stick humour for children aged 9 to 13 Walliams’ latest funny book Gangsta Granny will have loads of appeal.

If you are one of those people who thinks that all grannies do is wear mauve, play Scrabble and smell of cabbage, then think again. Ben’s Gangsta Granny has plans you could never imagine.

A former international jewel thief, she has been plotting all her life to steal the crown jewels, which is where Ben comes in.

For thought provoking incidents which will take adults back to their youth, and an unusual portrayal of the rapport between the very young and the old Walliams’ book is a fun read for everyone.

Other children’s books by David Walliams are Billionaire Boy, The Boy in the Dress, and Mr. Stink
