Summary
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.
But Joe isn't happy. Why not? Because he's got a billion pounds… and not a single friend. But then someone comes along, someone who likes Joe for Joe, not for his money. The problem is, Joe's about to learn that when money is involved, nothing is what it seems.
The best things in life are free, they say – and if Joe's not careful, he's going to lose them all…

Hilarious and brilliantly read , for ages 6 to 90
An easy listen for any long car journey that will entertain the whole family. A boy whose father has become a multi billionaire from making toilet paper wants nothing more than an ordinary life, with ordinary friends, without the embarrasment of being known as 'bumboy' and without his father interfering and buying him everything in life. In his quest for anonimity he moves to a new school to start afresh without anyone knowing his background. David Walliams has a knack for identifying with children's emotions and this book is very funny and yet very down to earth. No sugar saccharine characters like so many other children's books. The shopkeeper, Raj, who features in all his books, provides many laugh out loud moments and frequently gets quoted by my children during any trip to shops. I think this book is a particularly suited to 8 to 10 year olds.

Brilliant!
Where does Billionaire Boy rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
We do a lot of driving to and from clubs and school and this audiobook kept my girls from bickering in the back! The girls couldn't wait for next car journey! Why did I not think of listening to books in the car before? David walliums is our favourite author- billionaire boy was brilliant as always. Running out of David walliums books to listen to!

A lot of fun!
I bought this on one of Audible daily deals as I enjoyed the BBC TV dramatisations of Walliams books. I have to say the book was actually better, probably thanks to Walliams excellent performance. whilst the story isn't in the same league as Roald Dahl, it's certainly a worthwhile listen that will raise a smile.

An Extremley Popular Book amongst 6 to 8 year olds
Would you listen to Billionaire Boy again? Why?
David Walliams narrates his book superbly using great character voices that really brings the book alive. It is a firm favourite of my two boys age 6 and 8, they have listened to it countless times and love it.
