Publisher Description
One day I was 12 years old and broke. Then Grandma gave me Grandpa's old riding lawnmower. I set out to mow some lawns. More people wanted me to mow their lawns. And more and more. . . . One client was Arnold the stockbroker, who offered to teach me about "the beauty of capitalism. Supply and Demand. Diversify labor. Distribute the wealth." "Wealth?" I said. "It's groovy, man," said Arnold.
If I'd known what was coming, I might have climbed on my mower and putted all the way home to hide in my room. But the lawn business grew and grew. So did my profits, which Arnold invested in many things. And one of them was Joey Pow the prizefighter. That's when my 12th summer got really interesting.

Good book 😀😀😀
This book was a very good book 📖 📚
Sweet and lighthearted
I first read this book when I was a kid and decided to reread for nostalgia’s sake. It aged well, it’s still a fun and enjoyable as I remember. It’s an easy read for passing the afternoon in with a light-hearted read. I highly recommend it for kids and even adults who want an easy smile.
A Good Book
I am a 11 year old boy and really liked this book. Reading is not my favorite subject, but this book was entertaining. I liked how they described the characters and I also liked that it starts out really happy. My favorite part was when he got the lawn mower. 😀😎
