Summary from Maverick Books
A quirky story about a bendy burglar, who learns the error of her ways.
Grandma Bendy is the bendiest grandma.She has twizzly arms and super stretchy legs!
In the past Grandma Bendy used her skills for bad and was an
excellent burglar. However a taste of her own medicine sets her on the
straight and narrow!
Nayuleska's thoughts
This is a story which briefly explains how criminals, when caught, end up in prison sometimes for many years. This might prove useful to readers who have someone in their family in prison, which is a confusing time for anyone.
The star of the show wasn't Grandma. It was the two cute mice who featured on every single page. They always had a word or two commenting on what Grandma was doing. I love it when books have an element like this as I had to keep finding them on the page, plus they provide an extra view on what Grandma Bendy did in this 10/10 read.
