2. Billionaire boy book review • Leaving the most expensive school in England to find one, he tries to fit in at the local comp but ends up learning a lot more than his lessons at school. Not only a comedic story but one filled with morality and emotion. I would not have guessed this was written by Williams, generally known for his adult humor in programs such as Little Britain. The story, aimed at children over nine, does not contain any trace of the slightly crude comedy of his previous work in television but a smarter style that will amuse readers of all ages. The characters range from the faithful friend to the newsagent owner (Raj) and the stereotypical WAG (Sapphire Stone), who are all hilarious yet startlingly accurate: There is also Joe's father, who made his money inventing wet/dry toilet paper and is now on the hunt for a new wife, preferably from page three of the tabloids. Not to mention the teachers whose catchphrases will make children moan at their mere mention and adults reminisce about their own school days. These accurate portrayals extend to other aspects of the story as well, especially school lunches (or the way most children perceive them) and the lessons at St Cuthbert's School for Boys (lectures on how to talk loudly in restaurants and a Range Rover tyre changing class).At first glance the story may seem a little silly but deep down it is a lesson about how money is not always the answer. It's also written in a way that does not patronise children yet is still full of their humor.

The novel's main characters include three children—Ruth, Edek, and Bronia Balicki—who are left to live as best they can in the streets of Warsaw when their father is sent to a prison camp and their mother is taken away to do forced labor in Germany. Serraillier explores the meaning of courage, unselfishness, loyalty, and honesty as the children try to survive in a world made brutal by war. Violence is never depicted graphically, however, and more than half the novel takes place immediately after the war. The hardships the children endure arise from the deprivations war imposes on all members of their society. The feelings of hatred that result from the war must be overcome in order to produce a society in which people
