Why did I include the Grandma diagram? So you could get an idea of David Walliams' zany humor. Here's the premise. Ben has to spend one night a week at his Granny's. When he was little, he liked it, for Granny told rip roaring stories.Now, the only thing that "rips" is Granny. (She eats a lot of cabbage).Then Ben discovers that Granny isn't the Granny he thought he knew. She's an international jewel thief, and her next heist is going to to be the Crown Jewels.
It's a Middle Grade read, but a good read aloud for 1st grade up.

“The Real Boy” by Anne Ursu
As a neophyte writer, whenever I hear the phrase “point of view,” I cringe. I’m not sure how to do it well. Now I know. Anne Ursu, in “The Real Boy,” put me in little Oliver’s head. What a strange place to be. Oliver thinks he’s made of wood, and that’s how he sees the world. As a teacher for many years, I had students who acted the same way. I wish I’d had this book to suggest to parents who worried about these kids who break the mold. That said, it doesn’t matter who reads this. It’s rip-roaring fantasy about Oliver, a magician’s helper, who battles a larger-than-life monster (I won’t tell you what it is, because it’s a total surprise).
