About this listen

A story of fame and fortune, making mistakes and learning to be true to yourself.

When a little white lie leads to a huge dose of trouble. Cole is the odd one out at school: the other kids have the latest gadgets and trainers, while his family struggles to make ends meet, until the day one of his paintings is talent-spotted and sells for thousands of pounds at a posh London gallery. Suddenly, Cole is the toast of the international art world, the star guest on TV shows, rich beyond his wildest dreams and hailed as a boy genius!

Being famous is FANTASTIC, but Cole has a guilty secret which, if exposed, will bring everything crashing down around him.

This was an amazing book, in which a boy called Cole works with 2 other companions to solve a mystery, and during this he paints his own artwork. Recommend for 7-10 year olds.

AMAZING BOOK.

6.5 hours of drivel. Could have been done and dusted in under half the amount of time. Unbelievable and boring.

Awful
