A young boy desperate to become rich and provide for his family. But what is he willing to do to get there? Thirteen year-old Kamari Brown lives with his mum and twin brother Jaden. He’ll do anything to be a millionaire, so his mum can afford a car and they don’t have to eat reject Anderson Pies every night.

The lovable wheeler dealer type, his schemes usually end up getting him into trouble, whether it’s his dragon selling business or the school bully wanting payback when the love potion he bought doesn’t work. But his new rap song is the golden ticket, all he has to do is get his next door neighbour Amy to take it to her work experience at Andover Records.

This is an entertaining story featuring a lovable rogue main character with a heart of gold. Kamari reminded me of some of the characters I used to enjoy when I was younger, Bart Simpson, Louis Stevens, Taj from ‘Kerching!’. Younger versions of Del Boy, looking for shortcuts in a way that’s mischievous and entertaining.

But family is truly at the heart of this story and when getting what he wants would need him to be the opposite of everything he believes in. His intentions are good and the thirteen year old is perhaps old beyond his years in his keenness to find success and support his family. I loved the dynamics with his brother Jaden and Amy.

I also liked the very teen struggles in the book, from school to despairing where he’s taken to get his hair done. I think there’s potential for lots of stories about Kamari’s past and future get rich schemes - I would definitely be interested in knowing how he got a Komodo Dragon. Kamari Brown And His First Million is an entertaining story for readers around 12+.
