Chronicle Conducive To Books Framed
A few things to know about Dylan He is the only boy in his entire town—so forget about playing soccer. His best friends are two pet chickens. His family owns the world's only gas station/coffee house—their pies are to die for, but profits are in the hole. Criminal instincts run in his family—his sister is a mastermind-in-training, and the tax men are after his father for questioning. And one more small thing about nine-year-old Dylan—the crime of the century has just fallen into his lap. With the same easy mix of wit, warmth, and wonder that made his debut novel, Millions, an award-winning international bestseller, Frank Cottrell Boyce tells the story of a boy who reminds an entire town of the power of art.

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 thisHaving 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
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 turned
A fun way to learn a little bit about famous works of art.
What a charming book. I loved it. Overall I preferred Millions, but this is genuinely lovely.
A re-listening of an old (2005?) favorite. One of those books where the reader gets it exactly right and makes the book even better.
I loved this book, its so interestingI was reading this is the same country its set in...what a coincidence!Dylan is an amazing character, and talks older than what he is, I was surprised when I found out how old he was...! I loved the fact that he called his chickens Donatello and Michelangelo... its great!
