Reach for this book when you want to bridge the generational gap between your child and their grandparents, or if your child has started to dismiss older relatives as boring. It is a perfect choice for navigating the realization that the adults in our lives have secret, exciting histories of their own. The story follows Ben, a young boy who dreads Friday nights at his cabbage-smelling grandmother's house until he discovers she was once an international jewel thief. Beyond the slapstick humor and high-stakes heist of the Crown Jewels, the book deals tenderly with themes of loneliness, the importance of listening to the elderly, and the eventual experience of losing a loved one. It is a hilarious yet deeply moving tool for teaching empathy and appreciation for family members who might seem uninteresting at first glance.
