Product description
A hilarious, touching and extraordinary new fable from David Walliams, number one bestseller and one of the fastest growing children’s author across the globe.
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…

on 7 May 2018Absolutely WONDERFUL! It was such a nice book because it is so funny, especially when the main character(Joe)’s dad embarrasses him at school! The moral of this story is that money can’t buy friendship.

on 14 March 2018Billionaire Boy is a spectacular book about the son of a loo-roll maker who makes a lot of money by his company “Bumfresh”. I liked this book because it is a mixture of funny, sad and money isn’t everything feeling. I really hope you enjoy it!

Robotron40
on 5 March 2014Billionaire Boy is one of the funniest books I have ever read. Not a surprise, really, because it’s from David Walliams. My favourite character is Raj, the news agent, because his ‘amazing’ deals are very humorous.

Prisoner01
on 4 March 2014This book, like all David Walliams’ books, was really funny, but with a serious meaning behind it, like this book goes to show that money can’t buy everything.

TheMileLongBookshelfBlog
on 4 March 2013The main character in this book is Joe Spud, son of gazillionaire Len Spud, who made millions by….well, making loo roll. Joe is ridiculously spoilt and even has his own Formula One life-sized car and race track in his back garden, and even en-suite bathrooms that have en-suites that have en-suites! It’s not all fun and games though. Think he has everything? Nope. He just wants one simple thing; a friend.
This book is hilarious and fun, yet still manages to give out the message that money just doesn’t buy you happiness. Through reading this book, you can tell David Walliams is a naturally funny person, perhaps more so through writing rather than on TV.
The ideas in this book are imaginative, funny and ridiculous, which is exactly what makes the book great!
Billionaire Boy is aimed at slightly younger children, but I think anyone would enjoy this! For children or even the children-at-heart. And adults who are fans of David Walliams’s TV comedies! I give this a rating of 5/5. It’s a brilliant book!!

Emster123
on 10 January 2013I love this book so much!!! It’s funny and heart warming but it also sends a message to us all, rich or poor, it tells us that even if your rich, the money doesn’t matter, it’s whether you are happy or not and what people really think of you, for who you are. I would recommend this book to anyone!!

on 28 November 2012Great book in the middle of it right now, all about a boy called Joe who has everything he could ever wish for including “2” crocodiles but the only thing money cant buy is a friend! When Joe quits his POSH school he joins a ordinary school. Will he ever find a REAL friend?

on 1 March 2012This book is hilarous and quite touching, it’s hilarous me and my friends were literally rolling on the floor.

I won’t say to much just in case I spoil the story for you. Must read

on 1 March 2012I found this book funny and very good, but I found it quite childish and unrealistic in parts – it is for a young age group, but it was a light and funny read, which is great for younger readers wanting comedy, fun and a little bit of real life, this book is good.

on 13 June 2011On the Scholastic Book Club Website, I read the Look Inside on it, and for the first twenty-odd pages,I really enjoyed reading the book.I wish I could have read more of the book to find out what happened, but it was the end of the Look Inside.A fantastic joy to read.Recommended for ages 9+ to get some of the jokes and read some of the words.Hope I can buy it myself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Book-Club-Review-Team
on 31 May 2011Billionare Boy is a book about a boy who is rich and lonley but then his life turns around for the better. The characters were very adventurous also the book made me laugh a lot I would definatly reccomend the book to children aged 9 – 12 for both girls and boys. I think the genre was funny because there were humourous characters.
Jasmine, aged 10
Billionaire Boy is a fast paced, exciting book. It is about, well as you can tell from the title, a boy who’s father is a billionaire. Full of comedy and schoolteachers and chocolate, this book is a great read for all ages. But don’t forget to spend your billion pound note wisely.
