Mystery and Wonder Ben wasn't at all sure that Raj was right about Granny. That night it was the same old story. Granny served up cabbage soup, followed by cabbage pie and for dessert it was cabbage mousse. She even found some cabbage-flavoured after-dinner chocolates'=· somewhere. After dinner, Granny and Ben sat down together on the musty sofa as they alway s did. \"Scrabble time!\" exclaimed Granny. ,:-cabbage-flavoured chocolates are not as nice as they sound, and they don't sound that nice. 39 A Little Broken \"Aaaahhhhkkkk... pfffttttt... aaaaaahhhhhhk kkkkk . . . pppppppptttttt... \" No, reader, you haven't bought the Swahili edition of this book by mistake.

I adored this book. So laugh-out-loud funny, especially for readers with a passing knowledge of Strictly Come Dancing - the UK version of Dancing with the Stars. Gangsta Granny It wouldn't. And now it was getting cold. Cold bits of cabbage, floating around in some cold cabbagy water. \"Erm, it's delicious, thank you,\" replied Ben. \"G00d\" • Gangsta Granny is a children’s book, written by author David Walliams and published by Harper Collins. It begins with a young boy, Ben, who's not too about having to stay at his boring grandma’s house. She has white hair, loves playing Scrabble and eating cabbage soup. Just your typical granny, right?One day, Ben calls his parents at Granny's house and asks them to take him home. Mum and Dad ignore Ben and disapprove of the proposal. Granny somehow overhears the conversation due to the indistinct sound made by Ben while he was talking. The next morning, his Granny seems somewhat upset and disappointed thinking that her grandson doesn't love her. I thought that the writing was along the lines of Roald Dahl, however unlike Dahl's writing there was a moral to this story, which surprised me a little bearing in mind David Walliams' comedy! I would give a word of warning that there is quite a sad event in this book, which may be a little upsetting for more sensitive children. Walliams is a clever writer. He hides all sorts of moral lessons (which I usually hate) in his books and always with a light touch. In this book Ben loves his Granny but he thinks she's boring. She cooks disgusting-smelling cabbage soup and plays endless games of Scrabble. But... she has a biscuit tin of shiny jewels, or perhaps they are just glittery glass, only at the end do you find out. And so their joint career as jewel thieves on a mobility scooter attempting to steal the Crown Jewels begins. They are caught! But the Queen intervenes. She turns out to be quite an interesting lady who gets them off the hook!

He added: “He’s a good draughtsman first of all. But they’re lively, distinctive, quirky, funny, charming. Adults can see the work objectively, but kids are delighted by him. He dances before their eyes.” Walliams is currently immersed in writing his next book and Mr Beetles has yet to ask him why he is selling the collection, but he was told by an associate that there is “a change of direction, change of taste”.
