I thought that the book was a bit sad because Ben’s granny died at the end of the book.

This book is about a boy who secretly discovers that his boring grandma is actually a Gangster! But when they make a very horrible plan to steal jewels something very bad happens… I really love this book and my favourite part is when the boy finally gets along with his grandma and doesn’t think she’s boring anymore!

I really liked this book. It was exciting but not too adventurous. I liked "Granny" because she loves cabbages!! I would recommend this to ages 9 or 10+

It is a good book but i gave it a three because it might encourage children to steal which is bad. I learnt to never go to sleep angry about someone because you may never see them again. On the other hand, this book is really funny. this book is fictional and I would recommend it to people who like reading stories about crime scenes.

It's hilarious. Funny. I like Ben the most because he has the courage to steal The Crown Jewel from The Tower of London Bridge. That takes courage. I would definitely recommend it to all my friends aged 8.

This book is about a boy called Ben, who thinks his granny is the worst granny ever. But one day, Ben and Granny almost stole the Crown Jewels. It is sad at the end after Granny dies. I would recommend it to 8-12 year-olds because it is funny and exciting.
