Too Small To Fail by Morris Gleitzman
Oliver's parents own a bank. Oliver, on the other hand, is terrible at maths and aspires to nothing more than owning the puppy that he frequently visits at his local pet shop. When a mysterious woman buys the puppy and threatens to harm it if Oliver can't return her thousand of dollars, Oliver hatches a plan.
