Millions

Product Information

Furthermore, they have to keep their cache secret from their Dad and from the robbers who stole the haul in the first place. The boys quickly learn some lessons in basic economics: for one thing, how difficult it is to spend a large amount of cash (particularly when you have to keep it a secret). There's just one problem -- they have only seventeen days to spend all the money before it becomes worthless.

This is a noteworthy book with a truly deep and emotional side to it that perfectly combines fun, adventure, and humor into the sensitive issues. They would also only drop off a case of books and leave us to run it – it was so lovely to have you on hand to chat to the children and recommend them books, as well as the small (but appreciated! I would recommend this story to anyone above the age of ten, for there is some difficult language that would be hard for children to understand. Millions is about two young brothers who come across millions of pounds and their decisions on what they do with it.Some bits seemed unclear and aspects could have been more explained, but overall it was an interesting read.

Does the book contain anything that teachers would wish to know about before recommending in class (strong language, sensitive topics etc. I actually listened to the audiobook, which was even more hilarious than the book, due to the great voice of the narrator. I don't read children's fiction very often, but this one was recommended to me so I thought I'd give it a whirl. It was such a pleasure to meet you both, and I really appreciated how smoothly and professionally you ran everything. And furthermore, and finally, albeit I certainly do kind of wonder if I might be reading just a wee bit too much into and below the surface for Millions, as someone who was closely following the political and economic debates happening both in England and elsewhere in Europe (from around 1990 to 2006) regarding the adoption or not of the Euro and the fiascos this actually ended up creating for many member nations, both that Millions was published in 2004 (when the Euro had only recently been adopted as the common currency on the continent and when there was a very heated and often volatile debate in the UK regarding this) and that the entire (fictitious) scenario of the United Kingdom switching to the Euro is definitely being shown by Frank Cottrell Boyce as really being rather negative, this does definitely make me increasingly consider Millions to be Cottrell Boyce's warning fable against the Euro replacing the British Pound Sterling (and while I definitely think that this is interesting, it is also something I do tend to find more than a bit uncomfortable, as it gives Millions a between the lines political and economic message I as an adult reader find quite annoyingly problematic).

The book was not very relatable because the circumstances and topics in this book aren’t very commonly seen in my life personally and I haven’t had any real life experience with any of the event in this book. I haven't charted out my visits for the summer term, but I'm sure there are several in the south) and thanks so much for being so fantastic! Millions addressed some interesting topics, the main one being what would you really do with that much money? I probably wouldn’t recommend this book to anyone because I think that it’s just very boring and that there’s no real climax in the entire story. He has also written episodes of Coronation Street and Brookside, so you probably know his stories from your TV set.
