The Billionaire's Curse

Descriptive paragraph: Gerald Wilkins never considered himself a particularly exceptional thirteen-year-old. But that was before he inherited twenty billion pounds, a Caribbean island, a yacht, and three estates from a great-aunt he never knew. With this fortune, however, comes a letter. One from his great-aunt Geraldine. One that tells Gerald she was murdered, and that it's up to him to find out why.
   Along with his friends Ruby and Sam, Gerald embarks on a journey that will lead  him from the British Museum to dodgy social clubs for the disgustingly rich to mansions in the English countryside to secret places far underground. Who was Geraldine Archer? And what secrets was she hiding? Unless Gerald, Sam, and Ruby can find out before the killer does, they may be next.


   I liked the mysteriousness of this book. I loved the characters, and the villains are unusual. I also love how the three friends all contribute to the trio. I really liked this book a lot.
