VOVO VIGARISTA
VOVO VIGARISTA | David Walliams, EDMUNDO BARREIROS
Ela at se parece com aquelas vovozinhas das histrias infantis... Tem uma cabeleira toda branca. E usar dentadura no opcional. Mas de debaixo da manga uma joia ela arranca. Vov uma ladra internacional! Se voc acha que toda vovozinha igual, precisa conhecer a av de Ben. Ela poderia se passar por uma senhorinha qualquer - velha, usa um casaquinho lils e faz palavras-cruzadas. Toda sexta-feira Ben dorme na casa dela, e isso para ele o fim. No jantar sempre tem repolho, a tev nunca funciona e a av o faz ir para a cama s oito da noite. E no dia seguinte nem tem aula! Como qualquer outro menino, Ben acha tudo isso chato demais. Ou pelo menos achava, at descobrir que a coisa toda no passa de um disfarce - vov, na verdade, uma vigarista internacional, a ladra de joias mais procurada do mundo. Agora, juntos, eles vo planejar o maior roubo de todos os tempos. Voc com certeza vai rir bastante. E pode at chorar. Mas nunca, nunca mais vai pensar em vovs como antes.

And again, this is how it looks like when the students get to know Mrs Wolff‘s recommendation of the month. 😊

I finished this one in the bathtub yesterday. The problem of grandkids not wanting to visit because they seem to be boring is one most grandparents can relate to, but the this granny does cope with it in a very peculiar way. What a nice story. 🦹‍♀️🦹‍♀️🦹‍♀️

This is a cute and fun Grandma and grandson story, includes the Queen and the biggest robbery ever done. Even though it's a children's book, this one goes straight to a grwon-ups heart. 3/4 of the book are the fun part, but at the end Walliams also talks about death and letting go. Important lessons for our young readers.

Any last comments on my Gangsta Granny post from the kids at my school would be greatly appreciated, going to be showing it to them soon, so only about an hour left to put any new comments on. They‘d love to hear from you!!! #encouragereading #doitforthekids

Bronte_Chintz @LiterRohde You should, mine have roared laughing through this. David Williams is proving to be a bit of an aspiring Roald Dahl. His books are very popular here. (edited) 7y

This book seriously caught me off guards. It filled up laughters and surprisingly, tears too. Benny truly reminded me of myself sometimes, for being impatient and impolite young brat; and as Grandma, I somehow saw my own mother in her.

One of the things that make me flip the book is a majestic thing like this. I couldn't help myself to not take picture of this cotton tree.

100 years and man there she is, still standing tall and strong 😍

David Walliams has got a real gift for children's writing! Gangsta Granny was funny, interesting and touching. The story explores the relationship between grandmother and grandson which develops when granny's unlikely past is revealed. Walliams creates unique and funny characters each with their own quirks.
An easy read - fantastic for encouraging reluctant readers!

I just finished this audiobook. It ended up being a sweet and funny story about love and connection and trying to pull a jewel heist with your grandmother. The way the main character disparaged and disrespected his grandmother was super harsh in the beginning. Thankfully that narrative turned around. The stereotypical trope of the South Asian shopkeeper was unnecessary and annoying - otherwise enjoyable and funny and sweet at times.

This book is about a boy named Ben who thinks his granny is really boring. Little does he know she is an international jewel thief. This is an amazing story that weaves together important life lessons in a way that you don't see coming. Highly recommend this middle grade book.
