Gangsta Granny is a children's novel by David Walliams (the guy who wrote Ratburger and The Midnight Gang).

Apr 20, 2013 OK, I admit, it is a BIT of an exaggeration. But I couldn't find a red-hot poker at the exact correct degree of heat. So, imagine jamming that thing up your butt. (Only not QUITE that hot! (HOT, but not THAT hot!)) That will give you an idea of what an anal fissure feels like-to me. Especially while pooping and for a good hour afterwards. The story goes that Edward died from a red hot poker being shoved up his ass; this cannot be confirmed (but the rumor gives further circumstantial support to the theory that he was gay, and considered so by his contemporaries). Top Main Page.

It focuses on an eleven-year-old boy named Ben, who likes history and wants to be a plumber but cannot dance, staying with his granny while his parents (who love ballroom dancing) go to a concert.

The granny likes crime novels, which Ben is interested in, but Granny's other interests (feeding ducks, Scrabble, etc) he finds boring and he dislikes her cabbage-based recipes.
