Gangsta Granny
Publisher: HarperCollins Children's Books
Ben is 11, an only child and a poor reader, whose ambition is to be a plumber. Every Friday he visits his Granny, while his parents go to watch ballroom dancing, and he hates those dull, smelly, cabbage-dominated evenings. Then he discovers that his Granny isn’t quite what she seems, and life takes a dramatic turn for the better.
Tony Ross's entertaining and funny illustrations are the ideal partner for David Walliams's outrageous, laugh-out-loud story. Walliams knows exactly what his readers want, and serves up humour filled with bums, farts and poo; but when Granny is taken into hospital the story takes a more serious turn, leaving readers to examine their own relationships with the elderly.

I should have rated this book 3 and a half but I couldn't. This book is good and the funny thing was when Granny farted.

I thought it was a very heartwarming story as ben's granny just did not want to be boring and it was also exciting on how they managed to trick the the police so they could steal the Crown Jewels but they never did this story just proves that granny's aren't boring.

When I read the demon dentist I said to myself that it was the best book I have read. I am going to start going to the library to read David Walliams books. I am going to have lots of reading sections.

I haven't read all of the book yet but I have found the book very interesting so far. I have been reading it at school and I am already on page 100 in 4 days. I haven't got the book at home either so I have been very quick at reading it.

i first read this book in year six. Before i read it i was never getting into books, i'd pretend to read them at school, this had a bad impact on my english but this book helped me so much as it was the first chapter book i'd ever completed. This had a massive impact on my english and i eventually moved up levels. Great book, highly recommend!

I loved this story. The characters made me laugh and I loved the relationship between Ben and his granny when they became best friends on their adventure to steal the crown jewels. The ending was very sad though and made me cry.

I liked this book because it made me laugh for the most of it but was sad at the end. David Walliams used lots of description so I could see it in my mind.

I enjoyed this book review. I personally have read this book many times but even though I have read this book before I read through this review eagerly.

I am half way through this book. At first I did not like it. But it improved and is now quite funny. It made me laugh to think of a granny on a motorised scooter wearing a scuba diving suit. I have not yet finished it.

I think Gangsta Ganny is a great book. I read it in a day and it was my second David Walliams book (my first was Mr Stink). I'm looking forward now to reading The Boy Who Wore A Dress. Being an 8 year old, it was like a learning book. At first I thought it was quite exciting but at the end it didn't seem so exciting. I hope my review will encourage others to give it a try because I thought it was really enjoyable.
