Jessie is great with numbers and business, and she uses this to help her earn more money.

What I Liked

• The characters are really well developed. Each had specific strengths and weaknesses, and they complimented each other really well. I enjoyed reading from their different views.
• This book does a great job of introducing mathematical and business concepts, in ways I haven’t seen before. It includes basic math, like “how much do I have to sell to make $100?”, and well as more complex math like calculating profit for sale. They also introduce marketing, franchising, sales permits and more. It was awesome.
• This was just a overall great book. I picked it up to help fulfill my 100 books for 2017, but I’m really glad I did! I can’t wait to read more of Jessie and Evan in the next book.

What I Didn’t Like

• The only reasons this book didn’t get five stars was because it didn’t have a “wow” factor. But overall, a great book!

In Conclusion

This book is great for those in elementary school who want to learn a little more about business.
