PHOEBES FORTUNE PB

Phoebe and her pal, Ellie, find that money makes people do crazy things, but just how far will they go to get some extra cash? In the second book of the series overweight Phoebe confronts issues of money, poverty and dieting, she takes a personal journey towards deciding just how much a person really needs in life. The reasons why Phoebe can't have more pocket money according to Mum and Dad is because Dad is a teacher, not a multi-millionaire. Because when he was Phoebe's age he only got 15p a year and it's time she learned that money doesn't grow on trees (if only!) A dodgy leaflet scam, breaking the law, baby-sitting for the rich, kidnapping, danger, how on earth do you keep the 10th commandment with all these adverts around? But the loneliness of a rich girl and famine in poorer countries make Phoebe take stock of her own values.
