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.
