Billionaire Boy

Joe Spud is a 12-year-old boy who lives in total luxury. He enjoys an incredible array of toys, like a robot dog, a skateboard park, and his own swimming pool and cinema. On his 12th birthday, he is racing his own Formula One car around the track when he crashes it into a tree. At home, his dad simply assures him he can get another car. Joe receives a £1,000,000 for his birthday, and when he complains, his dad gives him another million.

Mr. Spud once worked at a toilet paper factory, rolling toilet paper. After decades of this job, Mr. Spud invented “Freshbum,” a toilet paper that was moist on one side and dry on the other. This fantastic toilet paper sold one billion rolls a day, and Mr. Spud immediately became an incredibly rich man. Eight-year-old Joe’s life changed dramatically: His parents divorced, and he and his dad moved into “Freshbum Towers,” a palatial home with countless bedrooms and bathrooms. After years of living in luxury, Joe is bored and isolated. He is also overweight from overindulging in sweets. After his dad offers him all kinds of presents, Joe reveals his real birthday wish: making a friend.
