Millions
The book I am reading is called Millions by Frank Cottrell Boyce. The main character Damion has just moved into a new home. On Damions first day of school his father tells him that the people at the school are looking for who stands out, the excellent ones. So Damion goes to school and in art class the teacher asks who the kids admire most of the kids say their favorite sports teams and movie stars. But Damion raises his hand, looking for a chance to be excellent and tells his teacher about St. Roch. The man who didn't speak for the last 10 years of his life. It says on the back of the book that Damion finds a million pounds in cash. But I am going to predict that he is going to try and be excellent with the money. Like try to be like one of the saints that he always talks about. I think this because Damion is always trying to be like a saint. For example he would walk without his shoes on a gravel pathway and he would sleep on the floor. He did it because it actually makes you stronger, its called mortification. I think that if Damion wants to be like a saint that much then with a million pounds he is obviously going to do something saint-like.
