Funny, surprising, original, written in texts and letters, with friendly black-and-white illustrations, this is a joyous book about the things that are truly valuable.
Proper, sparkly, witty, enticing storytelling . . . It's perfect.
A comic novel so light on its feet, it is positively levitating
It’s a relief to find Frank Cottrell-Boyce cheering us on with his irrepressible boy narrator in Noah’s Gold [...] An adventure whose wit and energy recalls E Nesbit’s immortal Oswald Bastable, this is an absolute tonic about using your head instead of relying on technology, or adults
