Billy Sure, Kid Entrepreneur

Age: 8-12

Seventh-grader Billy Sure has a good thing going. He and his best friend came up with an amazing invention (the All-Ball: it can transform into soccer ball, tennis ball, football, volleyball, and basketball!), and now everyone at their school is treating them like celebrities. But Billy isn’t letting it go to his head. All he wants to do is come up with his next invention. Fast and funny, with a likeable protagonist, this middle grade series will be a good fit for kids ready to move on from early chapter books.
