Summary
Details

What do you do when your mum, your dad and sixteen camels are in trouble and only you can save them? The sometimes sad but mostly funny story of a boy, a girl, a dog and four trillion dollars.
*SHORTLISTED - Speech Pathology Australia Book of the Year Awards 2012

Oliver just wants a dog. But when he gets his furry friend Barclay, he finds himself in a predicament - he needs to raise $11,000 to pay for him!

Oliver sets out to sell shares in himself at school and double his customer's money overnight, but things quickly spiral out of control.

Oliver soon finds himself in the wild world of investment banking and meets some colourful characters along the way who challenge his beliefs and show him the importance of helping others.

Tackling important issues like financial crashes, credit default swaps, and investments gone wrong, Too Small to Fail is a wild ride where readers of all ages will learn about the ups and downs of finance and investment banking in a fun and approachable way.
