The adorable narrator of this book is 9 year old Dylan from Wales. He's the ONLY boy in the small town of Manod so he has no one to play soccer with...a real bummer in a young English boy's life. It starts out slow, but don't give up, you will be richly rewarded. I read a LOT of this book out loud to my husband because it is laugh out loud hilarious! We don't have this in our library yet but we have his first book "MILLIONS" & it's my favorite of the two, but only by a hair. It was turnedA charming read. I love the way art transformed a small community in this novel. Favorite Quote:p. 214 "If I hadn't seen that picture, none of this would have happened. You see, I lost a lot in my life. But seeing that picture, I realized I didn't have to lose it all." p. 217 "the whole point of art is to rescue something of ourselves from the ravages of nature."
This book was fine. The reason I didn't like it that much was because in the paragraph on the front cover talked about how "the crime of the century" had been framed on someone.

They got caught pretty easily, and they didn't even get to the part where they completed the crime because, the crime was planned by the youngest kid of the group.
B. children's fiction, grade 6, painting theft, family.
As always, Frank Cottrell Boyce delivers a home run of a story in Framed. The writing, the characters, the themesits all brilliantly executed and very readable. I love the way he chooses a few motifs and uses them repeatedly to tie the story together and draw out deeper ideas in a way thats relatable. Surprisingly, this is perhaps the most credible and realistic of his stories that Ive read to date; most of them tend to be rather tall-tale like (or even just be absurd science fiction), but this
Having loved Millions I bought this book, this time set in Manod in North Wales. Floods in London caused the contents of the national gallery to be evacuated to the old slate quarry in Manod (where they were evacuated in the 2nd World War). The curious small local population soon get wind of this, with some hilarious adventures resulting.This book was quite similar in feel to Millions. It seemed obvious to me that he is not himself Welsh, by the idiolect that he gave the protaganist (Dylan). He
it's rubbish i have to read it for school :(
