Gangsta Granny: The beloved bestseller from David Walliams celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2021

Product Information

Ben hates spending time with his boring granny while his parents are off ballroom dancing. Little does he know that his granny has a secret. Together they go on an adventure and become the best of friends. He goes home and now can't wait to see his grandma again to find out about these jewels. But when his dad rings Granny up, she says she's too busy that evening to have Ben sleep over. Its a heart warming story about a boy who discovers that his granny is not just about cabbage and scrabble and is an international jewel thief. Together they plan the world's biggest heist - the Crown Jewels! Granny’s door makes a ‘Clunk’ sound as it is closed. Can you think of other words that describe a sound (e.g. oink, bang, swish)?

Ben’s mum worked at the local nail salon, ‘Gail’s Nails’. Because there weren’t many customers, Mum and the other lady who worked there (unsurprisingly called Gail) spent most days doing each other’s nails. Buffing, cleaning, trimming, moisturising, coating, sealing, polishing, filing, lacquering, extending and painting. They were doing things to each other’s nails all day long (unless Flavio Flavioli was on daytime TV). That meant Mum would always come home with extremely long multi-coloured plastic extensions on the end of her fingers. 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.

Sometimes Ben thought they loved it more than they loved him. There was a TV show on Saturday evenings that Mum and Dad never missed called Strictly Stars Dancing, where celebrities would be paired with professional ballroom dancers. Ova priča nije samo zabavna i duhovita, već i vrlo poučna i podseća nas da, ma koliko godina imali mi, i ma koliko godina imale naše bake, uvek imamo strpljenja za njih i ne zaboravimo da su i one nekad bile mlade, i da se nisu rodile stare i ''dosadne''.

Walliams pulls a mind-scrambler at the beginning of act three of this book. He has the titular granny die of cancer. In Chapter 5 there is a timetable for ‘granny’s hectic life’. Could you create a new, more exciting timetable with lots of different activities at various times each day? Could you make up some questions for others to answer about your timetable (e.g. How long does a particular activity last?)?
