Eccentric young wordsmith Samuel Johnson finds himself home alone while his diplomat uncle is off diverting a crisis in Azerbajan. As Samuel sits penning his memoirs and wondering how to divert the crisis in his own life – namely the big, hairy brute that is Boris Hissocks – he spots the little old lady next door acting very strangely. Is she actually chopping wood with her bare hands? Then the Monkey King comes knocking, and suddenly Samuel's whole world is turned on its head…

Book Description
Quirky, off-beat comedy about a boy scribe, a kick-ass granny and a primate with a vendetta.
From the Back Cover
Granny Samurai is small and as gnarly as an old root. Her teeth are false and so is her right leg. Her walking stick conceals a double-action repeater, of which there are only two in the world. She has other weapons too, which I am not at liberty to reveal. What I can reveal is contained within the pages of this book. My name is Samuel Johnson. This is our story. 978-1-4063-4096-9 £5.99 UK ONLY Also available as an eBook

I completely agree with the other two reviews. My 11year old read the book it one go and asked for the next one (hopefully there will be one soon). He said the story was crazy and he laughed out loud often while reading. He also likes to draw and started to create his own characters based on the book (he did the same after reading "Diary of a Wimpy Kid"). Mr Chambers, please create the next one.

Granny Samurai is the best book for boys I have read in years. A wonderfully crazy story: part revenge fantasy, part Samurai tale, part adventure...Illustrations are beautiful from the writer himself, the multi-talented John Chambers. This is the first of a series that I can easily see being a huge hit. Harry Potter take cover: Granny takes no prisioners

I bought this for my 10 year old son on a recommendation. He read the first 50 pages in 20 minutes and now won't put the book down. He says "its brilliant" and the mixture of illustrations in with the text adds to the engagement of the younger reader. I can't give much information about the story, but I think I'll have to read it once he's done. He's already a fan of "Diary of a Wimpy Kid", so if your child likes that series, then I'm sure they'll love this book too. I'm already recommending it to parents at my son's school.
