""A riotous, real-feeling debut"" - The
Guardian Poor Noah Grimes!
His father disappeared years ago, his mother's Beyonce tribute
act is an unacceptable embarrassment, and his beloved gran
is no longer herself. He only has one friend, Harry, and
school is... Well, it's pure hell. Why can't Noah be normal, like
everyone else at school? Maybe if he struck up a romantic relationship
with someone - maybe Sophie, who is perfect and lovely
- he'd be seen in a different light? But Noah's plans are derailed
when Harry kisses him at a party. That's when things
go from bad to utter chaos.

Joe has a lot of reasons to be happy. About a billion of them, in fact. You see, Joe's rich. Really, really rich. Joe's got his own bowling alley, his own cinema, even his own butler who is also an orangutan. He's the wealthiest twelve-year-old in the land.
But Joe isn't happy. Why not? Because he's got a billion pounds… and not a single friend. But then someone comes along, someone who likes Joe for Joe, not for his money. The problem is, Joe's about to learn that when money is involved, nothing is what it seems.
The best things in life are free, they say – and if Joe's not careful, he's going to lose them all…
