He is their dear companion, their fiercest board game adversary, and their frequent guest at parties. But this prodigy's parents don't share his knack at accounting-and they can't imagine ever running out of money. Will Hubert be able to save the Bobton-Trent's fabulous estate - or might they be just as happy without it, after all? With exuberant collage illustrations and a hilarious text, award-winning author and illustrator Lauren Child has created an irreverent story about the true value of money and the dividends of happiness.
As the prodigal child of a wealthy family, young Hubert Horatio is everything his parents ever wanted in a son, but when their spending ways threaten the demise of the family estate, young Hubert Horatio has to find a way to convince his parents to become more thrifty in order to save what little savings they have left.
