Reviews
The book is about a boy named Billy who finds his life transformed when he is received a money-box as a birthday gift from his dad who was currently engaged with a lady called Tilly. When going to South America, he solves a mystery, cracks a safe and wins an TV show competition FIRST TIME/ TRY! This exciting story tells you the fascinating 'adventures' of a caring boy which gets lucky numbers from a strange piggy-bank which needs Double-B batteries to operate. I really do recommend this fantastic book to eager children who like surprises and enjoy books with short adventures. I think this is an excellent book.
