Description

Lucky Fries O'Mighty is a boy who receives everything he wants. When he turns seven, he spends time with Billy Humble, a poor boy who owns Whizz the Fleabag, an amazing dog. Together, Billy and Whizz use imagination to show Fries what has been missing from his privileged life.

Quick Summary

A greedy boy who always gets his way meets his match in a resourceful kid and his flea-infested pup. Kids will appreciate the silly showdown and the way the story proves that imagination beats having everything. If your kid loves Roald Dahl's mischievous tales like "Matilda" or "James and the Giant Peach," they'll devour this hilarious battle of brains over brass. Perfect for kids ages 8-12 in grades 3-7 who enjoy quick, witty reads with a meaningful twist.
