Description

From the bestselling queen of heart and humour, JENNY PEARSON, comes a great big soaring adventure about family and finding happiness.

When Frank John Davenport inherits piles of money from a grandma he didn't know he had, things take an unexpected turn... Because the money comes with STRICT instructions...and a NEW grandpa.

Frank quickly compiles a list of all the ways he can spend the money and look after his grumpy grandpa. Money may buy hot-air balloon rides, monster-truck lessons and epic parkour experiences, but can Frank discover that happiness is, in fact, priceless?

This story handles loss and loneliness lightly, believes families should support and forgive each other, and offers lots of cheekiness and giggles. * The Sunday Times, Children's Book of the Week *
Young Frank discovers that the best things in life are priceless in this family adventure. * Sunday Express *
This rollicking adventure is also a tender portrait of dysfunctional families and the importance of connecting through the generations... Wonderfully drawn characters and fizzing, funny energy collide in this joy of a book. * Daily Mail *
Pearson deals with tricky subjects with her customary blend of poignancy and humour * The Mail on Sunday *
It's heartfelt, hilarious and full of misadventure. I loved it. * Serena Patel, author of Anisha, Accidental Detective *

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
