Besprechung
"A triumphant mix of wit and warmth" - Telegraph Books of the Year
"Witty, warm and enjoyable" - Daily Express
"David William's third book for children is a neat combination of hilarity and morality in the best spirit of the master story-teller of the genre, Roald Dahl" - Julia Eccleshare
Kurztext / Annotation
Joe Spud hätte eigentlich allen Grund glücklich zu sein. Genauer gesagt, Billionen Gründe, denn er ist der steinreichste Zwölfjährige auf der Welt, und er hat alles, was man sich nur vorstellen kann: einen Formel 1-Wagen, tausend Paar Nike-Turnschuhe, einen Orang-Utan als Butler, einen Vater, der nie Zeit für ihn hat ... Aber eines hat er nicht, einen Freund. Daher bittet er seinen Vater um das Unvorstellbare: auf eine öffentliche Schule gehen zu dürfen, inkognito. Und natürlich beginnen damit jede Menge komische Verwicklungen.

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.
Yes, Joe has absolutely everything he could possibly want. But there's just one thing he really needs: a friend...
