A boy's quest for quick cash leads to hilarious schemes and unexpected lessons.
Eight-year-old Owen is desperate to buy quirky items from a catalog but has no money. Rejecting chores for allowance, he and his friend Joseph hatch wild money-making plans. Yet, fortune eludes them until Owen rethinks his approach to earning and spending. Will his new strategy finally pay off? Dive into Owen's comedic journey of financial discovery.
Owen has discovered an amazing catalog called “Junk You Never Knew About,” and found a bunch of neat stuff to buy. The only trouble is, he’s broke! How can he make some cash, quick? His parents are willing to give him an allowance, but that would mean doing all sorts of boring chores. Owen is sure there’s a better way–all he needs is the perfect plan. With the help of his best friend, Joseph, Owen comes up with one money-making scheme after another, but–funny thing–he’s still broke. Not till Owen changes his ideas about how to make money, and how to spend it, does the tide of fortune start to flow the other way. Owen Foote’s new adventure makes a hilarious and fast-paced book, perfect for kids fascinated with the joys of getting and spending money.
