What this book is about--

This book is about a boy who receives an old, used riding lawnmower from his grandmother on his 12th birthday. The boy starts to mow lawns in his neighborhood and learns an amazing lesson about entrepreneurship and economics along the way. With the help of a hippie stock broker, a business partner, and a prize fighter, lawn boy learns how a small summer job can lead to so much more.

Why I like this book--

I like this book because it is a quick book to read and funny! I also learned lots of information about the stock market and economics- without even realizing it. I like the main character because he is fair and meets honest people that help him out. I can not wait to read the sequel.
