Millions

Product Information

Boyce’s book will certainly capture the interest of its target audience of upper school-age and middle-school readers.

Ever since Damian’s mom died he always believes in saints because he thinks it will get him closer to his mom. Jedna od meni dražih dečjih knjiga (u kojima mogu da uživaju i odrasli), koja je zabavna, duhovita i. As an adult, I think I want to reread it so I can appreciate the simple adventure, because upon this (first ever) read I was wrapped up in Damian and in his r'ship with his father and brother and couldn't quite fully just enjoy the book, as it was so poignant. The story started out very slow but after finding the money, the story became very fast and many events occurred over a short time which made it hard to pick up every little detail and most of the important aspects of the story were hinted at by those little details. Other than that, though, Millions was a good read, and I recommend it to people looking for a fairly challenging book.

As contrast to all of that filthy lucre, Damian is obsessed with the ideas of goodness and excellence. They have to spend it in days because England is changing to the Euro on the 17th and it is the 1st of December when they find it.

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). Some bits seemed unclear and aspects could have been more explained, but overall it was an interesting read. 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!This edition of Frank Cottrell-Boyce’s Carnegie Medal-winning Millions features fantastic cover artwork from the brilliant Steven Lenton. Normally I won't touch a book with a dead parent and sad kids with a 10 foot pole, but this book was worth it. This was a really cute story about growing up, and learning about how great (and burdensome) money can be. 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.

I totally understood Damian's obsession with saints after his mother passed away, and his need to be pious and excellent. THE MAIN THING I DON’T LIKE ABOUT THE BOOK IS BECAUSE THEY DON’T TELL THEIR DAD BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT WILL HAVE 40 % OF IT.

Though, still a very good read as the brothers (Damian and Anthony) find huge amounts of money💷 dropped off in front of there house from who knows where🤔. What would you do if you were praying for a miracle that would make everything better, when a bag full of money falls from the heavens?Obsessed with the lives and demises of saints since the death of his mother, Damien attracts a great deal of negative attention and warranted concern around his community. Anthony's character is easier to appreciate, and the humor comes through loud and clear to all, too. Then there are problems other than the money, like Dorothy, whom the boys are convinced aims to replace their mother, whose death aches still. I disliked this part of the book because the boys were acting juvenile and I think that they were too concerned with their hatred for anyone that threatens their mom’s place that they didn’t realize what a nice person Dorothy was.

Somehow, through a series of exciting adventures, Damian brings the family back together and they all discover that family and friends matter more than any amount of cash! The two boys are adventurous brothers who find that the money was from a train robbery and that the thieves want their money back. Litfest strives to encourage the enjoyment of and participation in reading, writing, illustrating and the discussion of ideas by placing them at the heart of Lancashire’s culture. K. switches to the Euro while still keeping the fact that they have so much money a secret from their father and eventually from thieves who stole the money in the first place.It was such a pleasure to meet you both, and I really appreciated how smoothly and professionally you ran everything. But what would you do if a massive bag of cash dropped from the sky and you had only a few days to spend it before it became worthless? I think that if the book included more action and events occurring then it could be better but the book didn’t take any big unexpected turns and didn’t include anything adventurous or out of the ordinary which is what I didn’t like.
