Случайно наткнувшись на мешок с деньгами, Дэмиан и Энтони оказались перед ужасной дилеммой. Поскорее потратить кучу денег в свое удовольствие? Или отдать их на благие цели?
Устоят ли братья перед заурядным искушением? Не запнутся ли их души о злосчастный мешок?

Фрэнк К. Бойс, автор этой смешной и горькой истории, - известный британский киносценарист (фильмы "Сент-Экзюпери, "Хилари и Джеки", "Круглосуточные тусовщики" и др.).

Лиему двенадцать лет, он перешел в среднюю школу, занимается в театральном кружке и обожает играть в “Миры Варкрафта”. В общем, обычный мальчик. Необычно в нем только одно — рост. Лием такой высокий, что другие взрослые часто принимают его за своего. Из-за этого с ним происходит всякое — порой забавные недоразумения, а иногда настоящие и даже опасные приключения. Так, казавшийся невинным розыгрыш стал событием, полностью перевернувшим жизнь Лиема: он отправился в космос, испытал эйфорию и отчаяние и сделал то, на что не всегда способны настоящие взрослые, — принял ответственность не только за себя, но и за других. Повесть “Просто космос”…

The perfect crime - it's a work of art, in Frank Cottrell Boyce's ingenious story, Framed.

Dylan is the only boy living in the tiny Welsh town of Manod. His parents run the Snowdonia Oasis Auto Marvel garage - and when he's not trying to persuade his sisters to play football, Dylan is in charge of the petrol log. And that means he gets to keep track of everyone coming in and out of Manod - what car they drive, what they're called, even their favourite flavour of crisps. But when a mysterious convoy of lorries trundles up the misty mountainside towards an old, disused mine, even Dylan is confounded. Who are these people - and what have they got to hide?

Includes bonus material and discussion questions from Frank Cottrell Boyce, and illustrations by Steven Lenton.
