Money isn’t the same as treasure, and IQ isn’t the same as smarts…An uplifting and joyous new novel hailed by Jacqueline Mitchard as “solid gold.”
“A wonderful first novel…profoundly lovable.”Perry L. Crandall knows what it’s like to be an outsider. With an IQ of 76, he’s an easy mark. Before his grandmother died, she armed Perry well with what he’d need to know: the importance of words and writing things down, and how to play the lottery. Most important, she taught him whom to trust—a crucial lesson for Perry when he wins the multimillion-dollar jackpot. As his family descends, moving in on his fortune, his fate, and his few true friends, he has a lesson for them: never, ever underestimate Perry Crandall. —Washington Post “A memorable character whose voice and world linger in one’s imagination.” —Miami Herald “Lottery is a winner.” —Kate Jacobs “A winning narrator.” —Seattle Times It’s “memorable.” —Miami Herald It’s “wonderful.” —Washington Post It’s “irresistible.” —Good Housekeeping “Uplifting.” —Kate Jacobs “Much more than a novel about a windfall affecting a simple soul—it’s a book about a stupendous event affecting a great number of people, especially the reader.” —Paul Theroux |
