Billionaire Boy
by David Walliams
At the start of the story,
we meet the main
character – Joe Spud,
Billionaire Boy. Joe has...
crocodiles? Tick! Private
zoo? Tick! £20,000 pocket
money? Tick! A friend?
No... The one thing that
Joe’s dad couldn’t buy was
friendship for his son.
First, Joe’s dad (who
created 'Bum Fresh', which
is a type of toilet roll) sends
Joe off to a ridiculously
posh school. But on his
birthday, Joe requests to
go to the normal school in
the town. Finally, his dad
agrees and so Joe's quest
to find a friend begins.
Joe eventually finds Bob
to be his friend. This book
follows their friendship,
their fallouts and how
they fight bullies together.
Partway through the book,
Joe runs away. But when
he sees how unhappy his
father is without him, Joe
eventually returns home.
Once Joe and his dad find
their feet, they move in
with Bob and his mum.
This book is very good and
I recommend that all ages
(especially 9+) read and
treasure it.
