Grandma Badass

Meet Ben's grandmother. It's like any other:

* has white hair and thick glasses

* wears dentures and a hearing aid

* likes to play scrabble and go to bed early

Except it is. an international jewel thief and plans to steal the crown jewels! A tale of prejudice and tolerance, of startling revelations and one insanely daring heist, this is the most entertaining book yet by a British writer praised by critics and beloved by children's readers. You'll have a great time. You might even cry a little. But you will never be bored and you will never look at the world and the people around you with the same eyes.
