This book is about a boy named Joe Spud. His father is a billionaire but was not as rich as that all his life. His father makes money out of selling loo-rolls, 10p a packet.
Joe is bullied at school and called names such as Bum Boy so when it comes to his birthday he asks to go to a new school so he can make friends.
But everything is not as simple as Joe settling in, his school discovers he is a billionaire and his dad pays for things that Joe doesn't want to happen.
This is the best of David Walliams's books by far. It is funny and emotional and I recommend it to anyone aged 8-10.
Best book I've read all year!
I have also read Mr Stink and The Boy in the Dress. I reviewed the Boy in the Dress for this blog (I loved it!) and you can see it here.
This blog is written by me! I was 7 when I started it, but now I'm 11! I review books that I think other children will like.

The boy in the dress
This is an incredible book. It is different, funny, clever and sad. I don’t know how I ever lived without it.
The book is about a boy called Dennis. His Mum and his Dad have split up. During this story he gets expelled from his school for wearing a dress and pretending to be his friend Lisa’s French pen pal. Dennis is also the star striker in the school football team, but once he is expelled, he can’t play. What will happen next? Who can save the day? The only way for you to find out is to read it.
