By the Book: Children's Book Club - Gangsta Granny

With Children's Day in Malaysia traditionally celebrated every last Saturday of October, we're dedicating this entire month to what kids and young people are reading. Every week this October, we're doing a Book Club with a different child, asking them to share with us their current favourite read. Kicking things off, we're joined by 11-year-old Maya Anjali Manalan, whose pick is David Walliams' duology, Gangsta Granny and Gangsta Granny Strikes Again - a pair of wickedly funny books about Ben, who hates having to visit his granny until he discovers a totally unexpected secret about her.
