Bookroo's summary

Henry Reed's summer in Grover's Corner takes a wild turn when he teams up with neighbor Midge Glass. Their business venture, Reed and Glass, Inc., promises success but leads to unexpected chaos. With Henry's inventive ideas and Midge's practical approach, their schemes bewilder the town, leaving everyone wondering what they'll do next. Can they manage the whirlwind they've created, or will their ambitions outpace their control? Dive into a summer of surprises and see how two young entrepreneurs shake up a sleepy town.

From the publisher

Henry Reed has arrived in Grover’s Corner–and the town will never be the same. While spending the summer with his aunt and uncle, Henry comes up with a sure-fire money-making project: Henry Reed, Inc., Research. Henry’s neighbor, Midge Glass, has an even more sure-fire hit: Reed and Glass, Inc. Now with Henry’s ingenious mind and Midge’s practical reasoning, Reed and Class Inc. turns into a huge success–while creating more bewildering and outrageous schemes than the townfold could have imagined.
