About the story |
As Arnold tells the Lawn Boy, "Capitalism plus publicity equals monster commerce." Six weeks into his lawn business, the Lawn Boy is rich and sponsoring a winning prizefighter. The media finds out about it and now he’s famous. So famous that autograph seekers are camping out outside his house. All he wanted was a new bike tire - now he’s sneaking out of his house trying to hide from people who want a piece of his business. How will he deal with all of these new complications and will he ever get that tire? |
My opinion |
A funny look into what might happen if a 12-year-old lawn boy became an overnight business tycoon. If you liked Lawn Boy you need to read this book. |
