"This book was hilarious. I really enjoyed the vivid, detailed descriptions about what happened in the story. I loved the different charactors' descriptions; their personalities and their likes/dislikes. I loved the way that I was captivated when I was reading it. I couldn't put it down!!!!!!!" — Shannon (5 out of 5 stars)

" A funny adventure involving a boy, a girl, a dog, some camels, and four trillion dollars. (AUS) "
" This book didn't catch my attention at all. I thought it would be good because so many people were reading it. "
" Great book. So glad we chose this. Good teaching notes. Good for wider reading maths. Easy book for Y 6-7. Maybe difficult concepts for Y 5 "
" A funny book for people 8+ "
" Quinessential Morris Gleitzmann. Funny, touching, realistic (well mostly). For camel lovers and failed investors everywhere. "
" It is really fun the way about how this 5th grader is trying everything to save his dog, and how his parent and he work out the problem when they suddenly go from rich to job-lost.. "
" Have to admire Gleitzman's ability to fashion a morality tale for mid-to-upper primary schoolers out of the global financial crisis. Humour and viewpoint makes the pain and ethics of bank failure both palatable and comprehensible for younger readers. "
" As usual, Gleitzman takes complex adult issues, and breaks it down to the younger readers in a way that is neither patronising or simplistic. Who else could write a compelling yet funny novel about a young boy caught up in the GFC? "
" Brilliant book introducing the world of high finance into a child's story. I love the way MG does this with his novels & often read my daughter's books before or after her so we an share. This is a beauty & so timely for this decade. . "
" Just brilliant! Would love to increase our library with more Gleitzman books "
" Oh, I REALLY liked this. Vintage Gleitzman, with a more challenging conclusion than you might expect. "
