Our Review Panel says...

This is a wonderfully funny story from the queen of humour Pamela Butchart tells of some friends trying lots of different ways to make money. They have some ups and downs along the way as they take their idea of selling cheap pizza and try to make it into a business that makes lots of money.

Ben’s family are having some money troubles at the moment because his Dad has lost his job, and he wants to help his family find the money to pay the rent. He has read a self-help book about becoming a billionaire and thinks he can do it as well. He uses the tips from the self-help book as his guide for the best things to do to succeed in business. The story ends with a lovely example of how friends can come together to help each other.

This is a great example of a diary that primary children in Key Stage 2 would engage with. The illustrations help to break up the text and make it more exciting for the reader.
