¿Quieres conocer a la abuela de Ben? Seguro que te parecerá la típica abuelita de manual:

-tiene el pelo blanco

-lleva dentadura postiza

-guarda su pañuelo en la manga de la blusa...

Y algo más... ¡es una ladrona de joyas perseguida a nivel internacional!

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A story of prejudice and acceptance, funny lists and silly words, this book has all the hallmarks of David’s best sellers.

Our hero Ben is bored beyond belief after he is made to stay at his grandma’s house. She’s the boringest grandma ever: all she wants to do is to play Scrabble and eat cabbage soup. But there are two things Ben doesn’t know about his grandma.
 
She was once an international jewel thief.

All her life, she has been plotting to steal the Crown Jewels, and now she needs Ben’s help....
David Walliams nació en Londres en 1970. Desde 2008 combina su faceta de actor de comedia con la de escritor de novelas para jóvenes. Ha publicado ocho libros, con los que se ha ganado el respeto del público y la crítica especializada, convirtiéndose en el autor juvenil más vendido de los últimos años en el Reino Unido. La prensa ya lo ha bautizado como el «Roald Dahl del siglo XXI».
