Billionaire Boy - David Walliams

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have a million dollars?  Or a billion?  How about a trillion?  or even a gazillion?

Inside this book you'll meet Joe Spud who has all that and more...  Joe is the son of the man who invented Freshbum - the toilet paper that's moist on one side.  So Joe's rich.  Really, really rich - the wealthiest 12 year-old in the land.  Joe's got his own bowling alley, cinema and formula one racing car.  He even has his own butler!!  But Joe isn't happy.  Why not?  Money buys you happiness doesn't it?

David Walliam's third children's novel is another cracker.  Once again it is full of humour (look out for the hilarious list of names teachers SHOULD NOT have!!) and craziness.  The wonderful character observations and gentle reminders of some of lifes realities will hopefully lead Yellow Spot readers to the moral of the story.
