2012 Book Award Shortlist

‘The Get Rich Quick Club’ by Rose Impey

About the book:

Banksy and Baxter are next-door neighbours and business partners with one ambition: to get mega-rich! But as their daft money-making schemes spin out of control, the results are always laugh-out-loud priceless! Such as trying to start a gerbil-breeding business when they only have two gerbils to breed: a pair of unwilling males. Or converting their garden shed into an impromptu hair salon, so as to lure in the local grannies for a blue rinse! Full of crazy characters, nutty chuckles and loony schemes, this book is a comic treat you can’t afford to miss.

About the Author:

Rose Impey is the author of over 110 children’s books, including the bestselling Sleepover Club series, which has sold more than 1 million copies and has also become a television series. She has been shortlisted for the Smarties Children’s Book Prize and the Roald Dahl Funny Prize, and her books have been published in over eight countries. Rose lives in Birstall, Leicestershire.
