Have you ever head of a grandma who is old but is secretly a burglar?
Well Gangsta Granny by David Walliams is the book about it.
'I hate spending time with her,' protested Ben 'Her TV doesn't work , all she wants to do is play
scrabble and she stinks of cabbage! Wow I don't think I would like a grandma like that, drinking
cabbage soup and playing scrabble most of the time when visiting but there's something interesting
about Ben's grandma well of course this process happened many times but one day Ben decided to
follow his grandma for fun but all of a sudden he sees that his grandma was dressed in all black and
has cabbage soup ready in her hands, ready to smash the window of a closed jewelry shop but all of
a sudden his grandma heard a loud scream from ben "STOP!" said Ben of course his grandma was
shocked but then she decided to bring Ben with her towards her escape. Upon reaching grandma's
home ben asked many questions and had millions of question blowing up his head Who? Why?
Where? When? What? those were the questions in Ben's head but since Ben had already found out
about his grandma, his grandma decided to bring him to rob houses and closed shop with her, at first
Ben was worried and scared but the more they robbed the houses or shop the more exciting it was
for Ben, this goes on for a long time when suddenly they got caught by many officers and was
arrested together so they were in jail for a couple days or so but when they were finally free and they
decided to steal the crown jewels but after escaping terrible news struck grandma and Ben, grandma
announced to Ben that she has cancer and won't be able to make it till Christmas, tears filled up
Ben's eyes as he regretted calling his grandma boring and lame and sadly, grandma had passed away
before Christmas but that's fine because Ben is a gangsta as what his grandma called him. Ben went
back home after visiting grandma he went back home and told his family about what happened with
granny and his dad said 'we already knew she was very ill' 'I know' said Ben, I just can't believe you
never told me. She's my grandma! 'I know' said dad and she's my mom too. I'm sorry I never told you
son. I didn't want to upset you.. Ben could see the pain in dad's eye and forgave him. The moral of
the story is that even though old people may seem boring, it doesn't mean they can't do anything
that youngster's can do you should always respect them.
