I have enjoyed every book I have read by Frank Cottrell Boyce. He writes fast moving quirky stories with lots of heart. This book reads like a mad cap comic adventure/mystery/coming of age tale but is also a study in childhood grief and as is usual for this author the father son relationship is central to the plot . Damien's literal take on life, his pure heart, and his obsession with the lives of catholic saints is classic Cottrell Boyce and is both hilarious and poignant.GREAT book for middleI was looking for a new Christmas set novel to read and Robison Wells recommended this.

It is a very interesting book with many important lessons that can be learnt from this novel such as how to spend money wisely and so on. Though there were some confusions in the middle of the book but overall the book is excellent. I would recommend this book to all the people who like moral related books.
Millions is a interesting book about two boys getting over the death of a family member and money.

Damien is a fourth grade student in England on the brink of the (imaginary) Pound/Euro currency changeover. Obsessed with the lives and demises of saints since the death of his mother, Damien attracts a great deal of negative attention and warranted concern around his community. Millions focuses on what Damien and and his brother choose to do with a great deal of money that suddenly falls in their laps.While I adored Damien's saint-fixation and his brother's promiscuous obsession with finance, I
The novel Millions takes place in the early 2000s in the suburbs of London, England and is about two young brothers in middle school and their father. The book is about how money doesnt measure happiness, wealth or a good life, wealth is measured by your relationships with friends and family and the bonds you make throughout life. The book is about a young boy named Damian who is obsessed with catholic saints and his older brother Anthony and the problems they get into after Damian finds a bag
