Gangsta Granny
Narrated by David Walliams
Illustrated by Tony Ross
Written by David Walliams

'Gangsta Granny' is a delightful comedy novella. The story revolves around a young boy named Ben, who dreads spending Fridays with his seemingly dull and cabbage-obsessed Granny. However, everything changes when Ben discovers a hidden secret: Granny isn’t as ordinary as she appears. There are two things Ben didn'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!

"This is a wild and crazy story with a heartwarming message. I liked the corny sense of humor, the lovely characters in the story and the theme of love and belonging which leaves you with a warm feeling long after finishing the book. I think this would suit children from as low as 6 years up to 12. I am a grown up (though my wife sometimes says otherwise) and I enjoyed it thoroughly."
