Overview / 简介: |
Two bothers, Damian and Anthony, are unwittingly caught up in a train robbery during Britain's countdown to join the Euro. Suddenly finding themselves with a vast amount of cash, the boys have just one glorious, appalling dilemma -- how to spend it in the few days before it becomes worthless. Torn between the vices of buying a million pizzas and the virtues of ending world poverty, the boys soon discover that being rich is a mug's game. For not only is the clock ticking -- the bungling bank robbers are closing in. Pizzas or World Peace, what would you choose? |
From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
“Written with charm and humor, this is a touching, absorbing oddity of a book about love, grief, avarice, and generosity.” (London Sunday Times ) “A joy for readers of all ages.” (Kirkus Reviews ) "It's hard to imagine the person who wouldn't enjoy it." The Guardian "Frank Cottrell Boyce's first novel has all the classic ingredients to delight children, but adds the anguish of bereavement to its irresistible comic adventure." The Times “Seek out this gold-standard novel as a possible gift for lottery-winner hopefulls of all ages.” (Time Out New York for Kids ) “Sheer fun. Seek out this gold-standard novel as a possible gift for lottery-winner hopefuls of all ages.” (Time Out New York ) |
