It was a one-in-a-million chance. A bag crammed with cash comes tumbling out of the air and lands right at Damian's feet. Suddenly the Cunningham brothers are rich. Very rich. They can buy anything they want. There's just one problem -- they have only seventeen days to spend all the money before it becomes worthless.

I was looking for a new Christmas set novel to read and Robison Wells recommended this. I've seen the movie, but didn't know that it was a book. Apparently they were written at the same time, as Frank Boyce was originally a screenwriter.The verdict?What a delight!Damian's voice is so clear and pure that I couldn't stop smiling and reading. I was immediately concerned for him, for his father, for his brother, and wanted them to "win." But how they would win, and what the answer was, I didn't knowDamien is a fourth grade student in England on the brink of the (imaginary) Pound/Euro currency changeover.

The younger brother (and narrator) Damian tries his best to be excellent and to do good work every day. His heart is in the right place, but sadly the execution doesn't come off like he thinks it will. His older brother, Anthony, focuses on
I really like this book. I think that it has good messages in it as well as being an entertaining read. I especially liked the part when they are trying to hide all the money because it creates tension in the atmosphere.
This book is an extravagant journey about a young boy persuing his dream of exellence. He is a wonderful character who is unerstandable. This book teaches people about the complications of moneys and belifes.
Damian is missing his mum and searching for ways to cope when a bag of cash is delivered to his feet. Damian believes that this is a response from God to his request and runs home to share the fortune with his brother. What follows is an adventure of sorts and a journey of discovery as well. Damian learns all sorts of life lessons as he and his brother try to figure out what to do with this bag of cash that has a very close expiry date on it. Who can they trust? How do they put it to the best
Putting this on hold after 27% because I just cant seem to get into it .....
