Absolutely phenomenal book! It’s short, taking only a few hours to read, but it is jam packed with action, adventure, tension, and friendship. We’ll written and delightful to read, the characters are fun and genuine.

‘Too Many Zeros is very good indeed. The story bounces along, there is wonderful humour, excellent characterisation, and an intricate plot that will keep kids interested and give them ideas to ponder as well. … [It] has a gripping story and manages to be both funny and dramatic.’
