داستان بانمک و سرگرم کننده ای بود با اینکه مناسب سن من نبود و بیشتر برای نوجوانان بود ولی دوساعته خوندم تمومش کردم و ازش لذت بردم😅

Peyton - “my favourite book”。 Her review: 11 year old Ben thinks his granny is boring until he finds out she’s actually an international jewel thief。Granny tells him stories of how she got her jewels。 They try to find the Crown Jewels but they are caught red handed by the Queen。Luckily they don’t go to jail because the Irishman who tried to steal the Crown Jewels before them dropped the jewels and he was pardoned。 Since Ben and his granny were not holding the jewels they got pardoned too。 In the Peyton - “my favourite book”。 Her review: 11 year old Ben thinks his granny is boring until he finds out she’s actually an international jewel thief。Granny tells him stories of how she got her jewels。 They try to find the Crown Jewels but they are caught red handed by the Queen。Luckily they don’t go to jail because the Irishman who tried to steal the Crown Jewels before them dropped the jewels and he was pardoned。 Since Ben and his granny were not holding the jewels they got pardoned too。 In the end Ben relishes that his granny was not a gangster - she had lied the whole time。 Granny then finds out she has cancer and sadly dies。 。。。more

Dcéra tretiačka sa pri čítaní stále smiala， tak som si knihu od nej požičala。 Smiala som sa aj ja。 Výborne napísaný príbeh， trefné č/b ilustrácie。 Nemôžem napísať viac， aby som vám nepokazila zábavu。 Odporúčam pre čitateľov 8+

I read it with my little one six year old and we had an amazing time。 David Williams has a way with words。 His characters are hilarious and so is his dead pan humour。 He made sure there was a lesson or two for kids in there。 The last chapter got a little heavy especially for a young child。 If you are not discussing death and serious illness with your kids yet- you may want to skip that bit。 Otherwise it's an utterly upbeat and fun book。 I read it with my little one six year old and we had an amazing time。 David Williams has a way with words。 His characters are hilarious and so is his dead pan humour。 He made sure there was a lesson or two for kids in there。 The last chapter got a little heavy especially for a young child。 If you are not discussing death and serious illness with your kids yet- you may want to skip that bit。 Otherwise it's an utterly upbeat and fun book。 。。。more

This book teaches you to always be kind。 Our elderly relatives may seem boring but they've had long lives and who knows what they may have seen。 Ben's Granny's stories are made up but that doesn't make them any less exciting。 I like how the queen makes an appearance towards the end and is shown to be human rather than just head of state。 And， of course， Ben's parents love him even if it takes them a while to learn how to show it。 Overall， I definitely recommend this book。 This book teaches you to always be kind。 Our elderly relatives may seem boring but they've had long lives and who knows what they may have seen。 Ben's Granny's stories are made up but that doesn't make them any less exciting。 I like how the queen makes an appearance towards the end and is shown to be human rather than just head of state。 And， of course， Ben's parents love him even if it takes them a while to learn how to show it。 Overall， I definitely recommend this book。 。。。more

Livro morno numa fase inicial， fiquei cansada de tanto suspiro pelo Flavio Favioli。 No entanto， quando chegamos às páginas finais， a lição de moral é verdadeiramente impactante。 Transformadora， diria até。 Passado uma semana da leitura conjunta em voz alta deste livro， o meu filho ainda pensa muito nesta narrativa， e cada vez que vê as avós tem um cuidado exímio pelo que é importante e frágil。 Há muito tempo que não lia um livro de literatura infantil com esta dimensão emocional。 Ansiosa por ler Livro morno numa fase inicial， fiquei cansada de tanto suspiro pelo Flavio Favioli。 No entanto， quando chegamos às páginas finais， a lição de moral é verdadeiramente impactante。 Transformadora， diria até。 Passado uma semana da leitura conjunta em voz alta deste livro， o meu filho ainda pensa muito nesta narrativa， e cada vez que vê as avós tem um cuidado exímio pelo que é importante e frágil。 Há muito tempo que não lia um livro de literatura infantil com esta dimensão emocional。 Ansiosa por ler a restante colecção deste autor。 。。。more

Gangsta Granny is a really interesting book and an very funny book。 Ben thinks that is grandma is boring， because all she does is make cabbage soup and play scrabble。 But what Ben doesn't know that his grandma is a gangsta。 That's when Ben starts to get very unsure about his grandma because he realizes that the books that is grandma had were crime books that his grandma had in her book shelf。 Then he had realized that there was jewels， and Ben had thought that his grandma stole the jewels。 When Gangsta Granny is a really interesting book and an very funny book。 Ben thinks that is grandma is boring， because all she does is make cabbage soup and play scrabble。 But what Ben doesn't know that his grandma is a gangsta。 That's when Ben starts to get very unsure about his grandma because he realizes that the books that is grandma had were crime books that his grandma had in her book shelf。 Then he had realized that there was jewels， and Ben had thought that his grandma stole the jewels。 When Ben's grandma tells a story about when she was little， Ben was shocked about what his grandma has told him。 。。。more

Gansta Granny is an excellent book to read。 Many kids these days might think that Grannies are boring， but think twice！ All Grannies just like you have an unknown secret。 In this book， many crazy things happened。 First of all， Ben has weird parents。 Secondly， Granny has a horrifying neighbor。 Thirdly， the Queen of England is involved。

Gangsta Granny is a good funny and sad book。 The funny part of the book was the beginning of the book when the Granny made cabbage soup and Ben didn't like it。 When Ben and his granny went out to go diving in the water， Ben had a rat on his head。 I really love this book。 David Walliams did a good job on this book。 Gangsta Granny is a good funny and sad book。 The funny part of the book was the beginning of the book when the Granny made cabbage soup and Ben didn't like it。 When Ben and his granny went out to go diving in the water， Ben had a rat on his head。 I really love this book。 David Walliams did a good job on this book。 。。。more

Gangsta Granny is a great book！ I highly recommend it if you haven't read it already。 It's about a gangsta who loved stealing jewels。 Her grandson thought she was boring and old until he found out that his granny was a Gangsta。 Granny told her grandson all of her adventures about how she stole diamonds。 Her grandson came up with this grand plan to steal the Crown Jewels from the Queen of England。 Gangsta Granny is a great book！ I highly recommend it if you haven't read it already。 It's about a gangsta who loved stealing jewels。 Her grandson thought she was boring and old until he found out that his granny was a Gangsta。 Granny told her grandson all of her adventures about how she stole diamonds。 Her grandson came up with this grand plan to steal the Crown Jewels from the Queen of England。 。。。more

I teach 6-8 grade literacy and ordered this book to put on my classroom library shelves。 This is my first book to read by David Walliams。 I must say， at first， I was disappointed in the numerous use of the word "hate" and the disrespect shown to Granny。 It was corrected in the end and my students really enjoyed the book。 I appreciated the use of words from the British culture and made each one a teachable moment。 I teach 6-8 grade literacy and ordered this book to put on my classroom library shelves。 This is my first book to read by David Walliams。 I must say， at first， I was disappointed in the numerous use of the word "hate" and the disrespect shown to Granny。 It was corrected in the end and my students really enjoyed the book。 I appreciated the use of words from the British culture and made each one a teachable moment。 。。。more

What do I think about the book Gangsta Granny？ I think that the book was a very good book。The main two characters in this book was the Granny， and Ben。Things that you wouldn't expect about the granny in the book is that she is a jewel thief。 What is something that happened in the book？ At first Ben did not have a good relationship with his grandmother but towards the end of the book they started to get along。 What do I think about the book Gangsta Granny？ I think that the book was a very good book。The main two characters in this book was the Granny， and Ben。Things that you wouldn't expect about the granny in the book is that she is a jewel thief。 What is something that happened in the book？ At first Ben did not have a good relationship with his grandmother but towards the end of the book they started to get along。 。。。more

Gangsta Granny is a really good book， at the beginning of it I wasn't really enjoying it because it was quite strange。 As we kept reading the book I started liking it。 What I really liked about the book was that Ben gave Granny a chance， and he wasn't so hateful to her anymore。 I really enjoyed the ending of the book because Ben expressed how much he cares about his granny and how much he loves her。 I would defiantly recommend reading this book。 Gangsta Granny is a really good book， at the beginning of it I wasn't really enjoying it because it was quite strange。 As we kept reading the book I started liking it。 What I really liked about the book was that Ben gave Granny a chance， and he wasn't so hateful to her anymore。 I really enjoyed the ending of the book because Ben expressed how much he cares about his granny and how much he loves her。 I would defiantly recommend reading this book。 。。。more

Gangsta Granny was a fantastic book。 It has many different surprises as you read along and some really funny ones too。 Even If you are not a big book reader you might like this Book。 You can never predict what is going to happen next because things you never would of thought would happen， happens。 When we started reading Gangsta Granny I didn't think I would like it， but it turned out to be one of my favorites。 So if you get the chance to read Gangsta Granny you should。 Gangsta Granny was a fantastic book。 It has many different surprises as you read along and some really funny ones too。 Even If you are not a big book reader you might like this Book。 You can never predict what is going to happen next because things you never would of thought would happen， happens。 When we started reading Gangsta Granny I didn't think I would like it， but it turned out to be one of my favorites。 So if you get the chance to read Gangsta Granny you should。 。。。more

It was a good book and a surprising book Because all of the secrets she kept from him。 It had a good twist and was a good book to read because she told stories about when she was a little girl when she used to "steal things"。 Her grandson and her planed to steal the Crown Jewels。 When her grandson thought she was a gangsta。 It is a very good book because it is funny and sad。 It is sad because at the end of the book something very bad happens。 It was a good book and a surprising book Because all of the secrets she kept from him。 It had a good twist and was a good book to read because she told stories about when she was a little girl when she used to "steal things"。 Her grandson and her planed to steal the Crown Jewels。 When her grandson thought she was a gangsta。 It is a very good book because it is funny and sad。 It is sad because at the end of the book something very bad happens。 。。。more

De stijl van de schrijver deed mij denken aan boeken van Roald Dahl。 Dit boek boeide mij van het begin tot het einde met humoristische teksten， bijzondere wendingen en een bizar avontuur。 Het verhaal speelt zich af in Engeland。 Het mooie in dit boek vind ik dat de auteur de lezer leert dat jongeren respect moeten hebben voor ouderen （en dat ze dol zijn op muntdrop）。 Ook al is er geen ‘happy end’ in het boek， toch sluit het boek schitterend af。 Toen er een film over verscheen， ben ik die ook geli De stijl van de schrijver deed mij denken aan boeken van Roald Dahl。 Dit boek boeide mij van het begin tot het einde met humoristische teksten， bijzondere wendingen en een bizar avontuur。 Het verhaal speelt zich af in Engeland。 Het mooie in dit boek vind ik dat de auteur de lezer leert dat jongeren respect moeten hebben voor ouderen （en dat ze dol zijn op muntdrop）。 Ook al is er geen ‘happy end’ in het boek， toch sluit het boek schitterend af。 Toen er een film over verscheen， ben ik die ook gelijk gaan kijken met mijn zonen。。。er zijn altijd wel verschillen tussen een boek en een film maar het humoristische was gelukkig zeer goed aanwezig！ 。。。more
