"If anyone tells you that kids can't start a business, don't listen to them. They can."
That's how the story of Chance starts. Alternating between a story and an educational text, the book hooks the reader in a business class through a middle-grade story. If all the teachers could use more storytelling, mathematics would be more fun.

Twelve Weeks to Midnight Blue is an amazingly fun tale teaching kids about becoming an entrepreneur.
Kindle Unlimited Quote image from Twelve weeks to Midnight Blue from Blog post.
When young Chance wants a fancy new bike, his Dad encourages him to start a business and earn the money. In the process, he learns about leverage, negotiations, marketing, cooperation, and partnerships. And let’s not forget the math lessons. What business could be successful without math?
Each chapter builds upon the previous lesson and closes with a question to put everything into perspective. While at its heart, this book is meant to teach the basic concepts of entrepreneurship, it’s also highly entertaining. Readers young & old will enjoy the tale of Chance and his quest to purchase the midnight blue bicycle.

It's the bike to end all bikes! Only, he has to EARN the funds for it. One shiny Midnight Blue colored bike, all for Chance, if he can get $225.00. The catch, he only has twelve short weeks to make it happen. So this kid is now very, very motivated. Much like some things from my childhood; he has to raise, find, work, earn the money for this bike. Can he do that in time? How much help will Chance need? What about his friend and how this will change his "free" time or friendships?
This awesome story has key business concepts that many young adults don't even seem to understand, and it's all interwoven into this story. ROI, funding, sourcing, what sells, what doesn't sell, what's worth doing, what's not, and so much more! This is a fantastic teaching tool for small business start ups, for kids and possibly a few people who aren't kids. I loved this book. It's funny! It's real, and it's educational. It's a series I intend to read.
