The hilarious story of one bag of cash, two best friends and a whole lot of trouble.

Finding a million dollars in your backyard - every kid's dream, right? That's what me and my best friend Toby thought too.

Jumping castles at school. Lollipops for our adoring fans. Wearing sunglasses indoors ('cos that's what all the millionaires do).

There's a lot you can get with a million dollars . . . including a whole lot of trouble.

Bonus tips on how to be a schoolyard millionaire inside!

The most wholesome book I know. Tess finds a million dollars in her backyard, and she tries to get rid of it… but not how you’d think Turns out that’s hard to do for a 12 year old.  With a spotify soundtrack, a family that is realistic (sometimes mean, sometimes loving) and an adventure, this was a joy to read. 

Ages 9-13
