Publisher's summary

READ BY DAVID WALLIAMS!! Another hilarious and moving novel from David Walliams, number one bestseller and fastest growing children’s author in the country.

READ BY DAVID WALLIAMS!! A story of prejudice and acceptance, funny lists and silly words, this new book has all the hallmarks of David’s previous bestsellers.

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.

1) She was once an international jewel thief.

2) All her life, she has been plotting to steal the Crown Jewels, and now she needs Ben’s help…

What A Surprise!

I never dreamed that this short title would be such a rewarding listen. Its humor comes across as the children's version of a Douglas Adams riff at his cheekiest. At the same time it captures the misconceptions both practiced and imposed upon young and old alike. It perfectly captures the awkward period in life when children are becoming their own persons and struggle to remain close to older people who love them. Finally, it's a love letter to English history, propriety ... and penchant for being subversive. That's made all the more nostalgic by the recent passing of Queen Elizabeth II. There are some slightly flat side characters -- most notably the nosey neighbor as a "C" story villain. The musical tag between each chapter gets to be a bit jarring after a while. On the whole -- truly enjoyable, and touching for any age.
