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.

I think the book was very good. It was really exciting at some points. I also think that the book could've had a little bit more details in some parts. The book also teaches you about somethings about stocks, money, and businesses.
I kinda liked it but I had to read it for school so XD
I really liked this book. I think it teaches you about financial words, terms, and more. I really enjoyed this book it was funny, short, interesting and the slightest bit informative.
