Benji Franklin: Kid Zillionaire series.
Illustrated by
Matthew Vimislik.
Whiz kid Benji helps save the world by using the proceeds from the app he invented to thwart disasters--like Batman, he has cool gadgets and no shortage of money to get adults out of tight situations. These far-fetched new titles are fast paced and mildly entertaining; children recently graduated from Ricky Ricotta will be comfortable with the over-the-top storytelling. Review covers these Benji Franklin: Kid Zillionaire titles: Buying Stocks (And Solid Gold Submarines!) and Investing Well (In Supersonic Spaceships!).

Benji Franklin: Kid Zillionaire series.
Illustrated by
Matthew Vimislik.
Benji Franklin makes zillions when his excuse-generating (or as Mom describes it, "database of lies") computer app goes viral. His unique wealth and insatiable curiosity allow Benji to zip off on nonsensical adventures such as capturing escaped, cloned dinosaurs and saving the planet from an earthbound meteor. Benji's fast-paced first-person narratives are fresh and funny, as are the perfectly matched cartoons. Review covers these Benji Franklin: Kid Zillionaire titles: Building Wealth and Saving Money.
