With all these things happening in his life, he has become the wealthiest 12 year old boy in the whole city. However, Joe does not seem to be happy rather. The reason is that even though he has billions of pounds, he does not have even a single friend with whom he can play.

Soon, someone comes into his life, who appreciates Joe for being himself and not because of his money. But still a problem exists as Joe is about to learn that as soon as money gets involved, nothing remains as it used to be. Joe has always heard his elders, saying that the best things in life always come for free, but if he does care about them, he is definitely going to all of them.

The previous novel proved to be extremely hilarious and was followed by another stunning and hilarious novel written by author David Walliams, titled as ‘Gangsta Granny’. This novel was published by the Children’s Books section of the Harper Collins publishers in the year 2011.

The story of this book is very much moving and went on to become one of the best sellers and fastest growing children’s book in the country. On the whole, the book tells the story of acceptance and prejudice, silly words, funny lists, etc.
