(2) 4-6 His allowance discontinued, middle-school entrepreneur Kevin (Liar, Liar) is desperate for money (mostly to impress a girl). Kevin sees himself as kingmaker: he'll create projects for others and take a cut of the profits; his enthusiasm for fame, fortune, and free enterprise is infectious. This is an undemanding read with a nicely underplayed moral, a solid investment for reluctant readers.
