Millions

by Frank Cottrell Boyce
Hennepin County Library, audioCDs, 4.5 hours
read by Simon Jones

British story about a boy, Damien, who finds a bag of cash. He and his brother have only a few weeks to spend it before the conversion to Euros. Their mother died a few years earlier, and that along with Damien's fascination with saints and their stories, make for some unusual plot twists as the boys find the money becoming a burden rather than a blessing.

Jones' voice is perfect for this work.
