How Billy Brown Saved the Queen

Product Description

What do you do when the Queen is struggling with a knotty maths problem that only you, Billy Brown, can explain? You travel to her palace in the middle of the night and help the nation, of course! In return, the Queen now wants to come and visit – and you can’t say no to royalty.

But the Queen’s suitcase contains two tiaras, a spare crown, three evening gowns, a silk dress and a pair of green wellingtons – nothing remotely suitable for visiting the bottle bank. Fitting in is tricky when you’re so magnificently different.

A right royal riot of a read!

‘The humour is ideal for early readers and the chapters are punctuated by Taite’s inky black and white illustrations.’ – Inis Reading Guide, Children’s Books Ireland

‘Fintan Taite’s impressive and delightfully detailed illustrations are peppered throughout, lifting the pages with even more light-hearted humour. Alison Healy’s How Billy Brown Saved the Queen is an hilarious adventure about friendship, mathematics and celebrating difference. An ideal gift, and one to be treasured, especially for readers who find maths tricky – like this one!’ – RTÉ Junior Bookclub
