Descriptions du produit

From School Library Journal

Grade 4-8–When fourth-grader Damian finds a bag full of cash by the train tracks, he and his brother try to spend it fast. The bills are all pounds, and England is just a few weeks away from converting to the euro, so anything they don't use will, in their minds, soon be worthless. This happy predicament sets up some excellent comic situations, including rampant inflation at the school yard and some suspiciously materialistic Mormons. But a lot more is going on than money-related antics. Damian, obsessed with the lives of the saints and a bit muddled about the real world, narrates with endearing naïveté and unintended deadpan humor. Fifth-grader Anthony has an endless supply of schemes, contrasting with his brother's more charitable sensibilities. Though their mother's recent death is not described until later, the boys' sense of loss permeates the story, and their instant fortune subtly leads them to a point where they can finally face their grief. Damian's encyclopedic knowledge of saints is hilarious at times, but also reveals his touching need for faith and reassurance. Supporting characters, including their dad and a shrewd female fund-raiser, have distinct personalities. The imagined 1998 monetary changeover may be confusing to American kids, who might assume the event really occurred, but readers should grasp the resulting need to act with dispatch. There's plenty of excitement as the deadline approaches and the brothers' secret becomes known, but the humor, the strong family story, and Damian's narrative voice make this satisfying novel succeed on several levels.–Steven Engelfried, Beaverton City Library, OR

From AudioFile

The patron saint of audiobooks must surely have been watching over this production. It's got colorful, carefully crafted characters, a cinematic story--a British youth, obsessed with saints, finds a cash bonanza--and a dazzling read by Simon Jones. Boyce's story operates as a clever mystery, a parable about greed, a lesson in recovery from loss, and an example, like HUCKLEBERRY FINN, of a book about children that works for all ages. Narrator Jones's strongest gift isn't his array of British accents (which he does effortlessly) or his timing (which is impeccable); it is his empathy--an uncanny ability to put the listener inside the mind of a spiritually conflicted child. If you're wondering what separates the good from the great in audiobook narration--check out this Golden Voice. R.W.S.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Brilliant, Janv. 19 2007
Par Jonas Weeple "Jonas" (Edmonton, AB, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Millions (Paperback)
I have seldom been more entranced with a book than I was with Frank Cottrell Boyce's Millions. It is entertaining, witty, and well-crafted, and if you allow yourself to get over the fact that you are reading a book written for the under-14 crowd, I am sure that you will find it, as I did, profoundly moving and wise. The story moves at quite pace, but it never feels rushed, pausing for brief moments to allow the reader to consider the difficulties faced by the young protagonist and his brother as they deal with their unexpected fortunes, both good and bad. It would be enough if Millions were one of those rare books that defies the odds and manages to be fun for the whole family, but Millions manages to be more: it teaches without being condescending, it is funny without being insubstantial, and sentimental without being cloying or sacchrine. This is a brilliant book, and I reccomend it to you without reservation.
