‘A writer of comic genius – he has something of Roald Dahl’s magic, but more heart’ – The Sunday Telegraph
The perfect crime – it’s a work of art, in bestselling, award-winning Frank Cottrell Boyce’s funny, touching story, Framed. Cover illustration by award-winner Steven Lenton.
Dylan has accidentally been caught up in the crime of the century. Up until now he’s been bored stiff, as the only boy living in the tiny Welsh town of Manod, with only his chickens for company.
Until one day, he spots a mysterious convoy of lorries heading straight for the disused mines. They’re carrying a very precious cargo and when Dylan decides to investigate, he is quickly thrown headlong into the greatest art heist in history . . . probably.
A laugh-out-loud story about a very unlikely crime, shortlisted for the CILIP Carnegie medal and the Blue Peter Book Award.

I mean FCB is a good writer, but it doesn't match the brief! It says a perfect crime, it's a work of art, but they never actually do it! It's a good idea but the crime bit they never really do it. I like the characters and the build up but the main bit is a bit weak and not really expressed.
Quality score:9.1
Brief match:1.0
Ending:8.9.
Overall:6.333
Yes I might recommend it.
Great story. One for everyone.
This book was brilliant, it was funny and intersting. I like how it was written like a diary. It was intresting how it was set in such an insignificant place.
The perfect crime with a very good quirky and entertaining story line.
Dylan is a great character.
It's really good! A bit confusing at the start, but at the end you're completely hooked. My favourite character might have been Minnie, the main character's sister! I would recommend this book to people in my age range!
this book is about paintings
This book is really interesting i would recommend it if you like adventure, art and crime.
It was OK but there where still some loose ends at the end o f the book which where slightly annoying but otherwise it was a book.
This book is very funny and has lots of humour.
