Gangsta Granny
by David Walliams
Ben dreads Friday nights at his boring grandmother's, until he finds a biscuit tin of jewels and learns she was once an international jewel thief.
A story about children and families, funny and moving in tone. We would put it with children of 8–11, and at a reading age of about 9 for reading alone.

Or let them write their own.
Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
