Book Report on Gangsta Granny

BOOK REPORT ON GANGSTA GRANNY Little does Ben suspect that his gangsta granny is still planning her The books are extremely funny, filled with the type of silly humour that. Being an 8 year old, it was like a learning book. Will they get away with it or not? Eve, Tolworth Girls school, 10 October I enjoyed this book review. Although he thought she was boring at first that soon go on a adventure to steal the crown jewels for the London Tower Spoilers The synopsis below may give away important plot points. Josh, Pollok, 08 March I really enjoyed it, very exiting book. He got arrested. Abigail leete, Essex, 20 February I like gangsta granny,mr stink and the boy in the dress. 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. At first I did not like it. Rob Brydon plays Mr Parker a nosy neighbour who could scupper Ben and his grandmas plot; and Jocelyn Jee Esien appears as Kelly, the pushy mother of Florence India Ria Amarteifio with whom Ben has to dance in a local ballroom competition. I personally have read this book many times but even though I have read this book before I read through this review eagerly. Then one day he finds a huge collection of jewels in a biscuit tin and discovers she was once a notorious burglar, the Black Cat, though she was never caught as she never tried to sell her spoils.

I haven't got the book at home either so I have been very quick at reading it. I like the ways the character are described and how there feelings are. The reason I like it is because I find it really funny and interesting. Really want to see the film. At first I thought it was quite exciting but at the end it didn't seem so exciting. But one day when he asks his "nan" whether he could stay on a saturday night and his nan said no, he wonders whether he should follow her. I have not yet finished it. But when this boy finds out this secret, the pair of them attempted to do something amazing. To his surprise, she recognised jack in his disguise and together , they plan to steal the crown jewels.
