Gangsta Granny

Product Information

Gangsta Granny suffers from the same problems: It uses the lowest common denominators to gain as wide an audience as possible that it overshoots at those who actually prefer to think for themselves and ask questions. Case in point: Ben's parents are such unlikely caricatures of adults in their obsession with (and reduction to) ballroom dancing, it is painful. And though his grandmother's secret past as a thief might be a funny idea in itself (just not very original), her other persona of 'granny' is such a stereotype it should not have made it past the first editor. Gangsta Granny us' not 'one of them'. He was so full of life and laughter, Raj seemed a world away from parents and teachers and all the grown-ups who felt they could tell you off because they were bigger than you. \"Just because your granny 1s old, young Ben,\" said Raj, \"doesn't mean that she is boring. I am getting on a bit myself. And whenever I have met your granny I have found her to be a very interesting lady.\" \"But-\" \"Don't be too hard on her, Ben,\" pleaded Raj. \"We will all be old one day. Even you. And I'm sure your granny will have a secret or two. Old people always do...\" •

Umso spannender ist dann natürlich die Frage, wie die Gangsta Granny abermals zuschlagen kann. Und davon muss man sich einfach überraschen lassen, denn es war wirklich unerwartet.Gangsterimummin kuolemasta on kulunut vuoden verran, kun Lontoota alkaa repiä uusi ryöstöaalto. Ensin katoaa Tutankhamonin naamio British Museumista, eivätkä muutkaan kansallisaarteet ole turvassa nokkelalta varkaalta. Naapurustossa asuva herra Parker on edelleen vakuuttunut Benin syyllisyydestä, ja sen seurauksena sankarimme huomaa olevansa keskellä vauhdikasta seikkailua. Lisäväriä tapahtumiin tuovat salaperäinen musta kissa, Thamesissa kelluva jäävuori, seniorimopo, kebabia syövä hummeriasuinen rouva, paritanssista turhan paljon innostuneet vanhemmat ja tietysti myös kaikkien Walliams-romaanien vakiohahmo, vanhentuneita makeisia kulmakaupassaan myyvä Raj. 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. The illustrations in ‘Gangsta Granny’ by Tony Ross are lovely, however they don’t quite compare with those from the wonderful pen of Quentin Blake in ‘Mr Stink’. All the more exciting, of course, is the question of how the Gangsta Granny can strike again. And you just have to be surprised by that, because it was really unexpected. Look at the graph of told-offness in Chapter 27. Could you make your own graph about a similar topic?
