Interested in how the free market economy works? Neither was the narrator of this book, until one day his grandmother gives him an old riding lawnmower. Pretty soon he’s got a job mowing his neighbor’s yard. Then a few more yards. And before he knows it he’s the boss of several employees, owner of some very successful stock, and sponsor of his very own boxer. Cute, quick, and fun.
