Frank Cottrell-Boyce Books Overview

Millions

A bittersweet story about the perils and pleasures of pounds and pennies. It will make you laugh and cry. Two bothers, Damian and Anthony, are unwittingly caught up in a train robbery during Britain’s countdown to join the Euro. Suddenly finding themselves with a vast amount of cash, the boys have just one glorious, appalling dilemma how to spend it in the few days before it becomes worthless. Torn between the vices of buying a million pizzas and the virtues of ending world poverty, the boys soon discover that being rich is a mug’s game. For not only is the clock ticking the bungling bank robbers are closing in. Pizzas or World Peace, what would you choose?

Framed

A few things to know about Dylan He is the only boy in his entire town so forget about playing games of football. His best friends are two pet chickens, Michaelangelo and Donatello named after who else? the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. His family owns the town’s only gas station/copy shop/coffee house their Picasso Pies are to die for, but profits are still in the hole. Criminal instincts run in his family his sister is a mastermind in training, and the tax men are after his newly absent father for ‘questioning.’ And, one more small thing about nine year old Dylan he’s now the man of the house. Then an enormous secret rolls into town one that could bring back Dylan’s father, rescue the family business, and involve Dylan in what very well could be the crime of the century. With the same easy mix of wit, warmth, and wonder that made his debut novel Millions an award winning international bestseller, Frank Cottrell Boyce tells the story of a boy who reminds an entire town of the power of art.

Cosmic

Liam has always felt a bit like he’s stuck between two worlds. This is primarily because he’s a twelve year old kid who looks like he’s about thirty. Sometimes it’s not so bad, like when his new principal mistakes him for a teacher on the first day of school or when he convinces a car dealer to let him take a Porsche out on a test drive. But mostly it’s just frustrating, being a kid trapped in an adult world. And so he decides to flip things around. Liam cons his way onto the first spaceship to take civilians into space, a special flight for a group of kids and an adult chaperone, and he is going as the adult chaperone. It’s not long before Liam, along with his friends, is stuck between two worlds again only this time he’s 239,000 miles from home. Frank Cottrell Boyce, author of Millions and Framed, brings us a funny and touching story of the many ways in which grown upness is truly wasted on grown ups.

Desirable

George is a social reject but the mysterious bottle of aftershave means women can’t resist him! How will George cope with his new found popularity? A laugh out loud comedy. Barrington Stoke specialise in books for reluctant, struggling and dyslexic readers.

The Unforgotten Coat

From the best selling author of Cosmic and Millions comes an evocative immigration tale about two brothers trying to survive a daring story that miraculously defies belief. When two Mongolian brothers inexplicably appear one morning in Julie’s sixth grade class, no one, least of all Julie, knows what to do with them. But when Chingis, the older of the two brothers, proclaims Julie as their ‘Good Guide’ a nomadic tradition of welcoming strangers to a new land Julie must somehow navigate them through soccer, school uniforms, and British slang, all while trying to win Shocky’s attention and perhaps also an invitation to her friend Mimi’s house. At times funny, this moving and simply told novella tugs at the heart a unique story of immigration both fierce in its telling and magical in its characters.
