Millions

Product Information

While you are hearing your father’s words to be ‘excellent’, following the guidance of the saints, your brother is more of a real-estate baron, it seems…. The next day they try and find where the saints and the poor live, but before they can get to the house where the saints live they see a saint walking past them so they gave him some money from the bag. When he prays for guidance and a giant bag of money falls out of the sky, he figures God has sent it.

Bronnie is so lovely with the boys and we also felt that having a man enthusing about the books set a great example. 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? A wonderful, sweet story told by a 5th-grade boy who just happens to see long-dead saints everywhere he looks.Damian and his brother, Anthony, have recently lost their mother, and their father is doing all that he can to raise them well. Heart-achingly funny, touching and brilliantly clever, Millions is a fantastic adventure about two boys, one miracle and a million choices. 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. I read some chapters aloud to my younger sister (who is cool as a cucumber by temperament) and she laughed out loud to hear his antic reasoning, proving that for those who don't identify, there is much pleasure to be had from visiting Damian's corner of kook for a while.

I rated this novel a 3 out of 5 because although the novel had a great message in it the story itself was confusing at times.This idea is voiced throughout with grace and skill as Boyce shows the problems that money can cause. Although this book isn't something I would usually read, I did enjoy it and found it funny yet heart warming. Millions is an interesting story about two young brothers who stumble upon a bag filled with thousands of pounds and must try and spend it before the currency is changed to the euro. I was at my last school for 4 years and we had ********* book fairs every term – and every term, I was disappointed by the narrow range of books.
