The Big Bazoohley by Peter Carey
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 1.6 MB
Overview: Sam Kellow is nine. His father is a compulsive gambler, pursuing the ‘big bazoohley’ – the jackpot to end all jackpots. But it is Sam who sets out to win it – against all the odds, he enters the Perfecto Kiddo Competition . . .
A mansion that can be entered only from a disguised door on a subway platform; impossibly detailed paintings that can fit inside a matchbox; an opulent hotel filled with snooty guests; a squadron of fiendishly well-kempt children competing for the title of Perfecto Kiddo-the Booker Prize-winning author of Oscar and Lucinda stuffs his first children’s book with a lavish complement of elements that, while improbable, are so enticing or so funny that readers will wish they were true. At the center of this outlandish world is one Sam Kellow, an Everyboy whose sheer normalcy provides ample ballast for the eccentricities of the plot. He and his parents have flown to Toronto on a mission: Sam’s artist mother will deliver one of the aforesaid miniatures to a tycoon at the aforesaid mansion and collect her pay-what Sam’s high-rolling father calls “the Big Bazoohley“
