WINNER OF THE 2005 CARNEGIE MEDAL
Frank Cottrell Boyce's story, Millions - the tale of a not-so-great train robbery - is an absolute treasure!
Two brothers, Damian and Anthony, are unwittingly caught up in a train robbery during Britain's countdown to joining the Euro. Suddenly finding themselves with a vast amount of cash, the boys have just one glorious, appalling dilemma - how to spend it in the few days before it becomes worthless. Torn between the vices of buying a million pizzas and the virtues of ending world poverty, the boys soon discover that being rich is a mug's game. For not only is the clock ticking - the bungling bank robbers are closing in too.
Pizzas or World Peace - what would you choose?
Includes bonus material and discussion questions from Frank Cottrell Boyce, and illustrations by Steven Lenton.
Frank Cottrell Boyce is an established British screenwriter whose credits include Welcome to Sarajevo, Hilary and Jackie and 24 Hour Party People. A movie of Millions directed by Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, Shallow Grave) releases 2004 with a paperback tie-in.
