The Billionaire's Curse by Richard Newsome
5.0
I haven't read a kids book in a long time (this one is about grades 5-8), and I thoroughly enjoyed this one. When I was done, I handed it to my 7th grade son and he read it as quickly as any book he's ever read.
The Billionaire's Curse is about a 13-year-old British boy who has to give up his holiday with friends to go to England to the funeral of a great aunt he never met. While there he discovers that he is the sole heir to her twenty billion pound fortune. His great aunt left him a note saying that if he got this letter, then she was murdered and she wanted him to figure out who did it.
His greedy parents take off to check out his other properties, and he is left with a butler who hates him. He meets Sam and Ruby, twin siblings, and the three of them go on great adventures together to figure out who killed his great aunt.
It's a delightful book with an ending that makes you want more. The second book is already out, and the third is coming in the next few months, which is good since my son is already more than half done with the second.
