Billionaire Bairn: Billionaire Boy in Scots
By (author) David Williams; Translated by Matthew Fitt
A hilarious, touching and extraordinary new fable from David Walliams, number one bestseller and fastest growing children’s author in the country. 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 orang-utan. 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…
