The audiobook narrator is awful.
I wish I had just read a physical copy instead.

I'm sitting at about 3.75 stars for this one. I like the way entrepreneurship is handled in this story as opposed to some that I've read. It's certainly a new kind of business for a grade schooler to run! I enjoyed the family dynamic and the fact that JD is gifted at something that I've never heard of a young person doing before. Definitely a great read for business minded young people, especially boys.

I read this aloud with my two boys (9 and 10) and they really enjoyed it. We enjoyed reading about JD and his family and how he overcame a bad haircut from his mom to become a young entrepreneur. Great story and we can’t wait to read the next books in the series.

This started out with a lot of promise. I loved the idea of his mom going back to school and giving with his grandparents, because I think a lot of kids can relate to that. But slowly this book started to decline and seem a bit shallow and very unrealistic. It was okay.
