The
Billionaire’s Curse, written by Richard Newsome, is a kids’ fiction book.
The main character, Gerald Wilkins, whose life could formerly have been
described with words such as normal, boring, and average, suddenly finds his
world flipped upside down. It all starts with the death of his billionaire
great-aunt Geraldine, who he never even knew existed. He and his family (the
mother and father who aren’t too pleasant) are jetted across the world in a
private plane, suited with chefs and butlers, to the funeral to be held in
London. At the reading of the will, it
is discovered that the bulk of the fortune was left to Gerald! With his parents
leaving to “oversee” the fortune and make sure it is well maintained, poor
Gerald is left alone in London, stuck inside one of his new houses for his own
safety. Inside an
envelope given to him by his great-aunt, is a letter from Geraldine, explaining
her theory that she was murdered. She begs Gerald to discover her murderer and
why she was murdered along with mysterious clues regarding a famous jewel.
Follow Gerald in his adventure that I couldn’t tear myself away from. If you
like fast paced and exciting mysteries, this would be a good book for you.
