Book Review: Danny Dollar Millionaire Extraordinaire: The Lemonade Escapade

The story follows 11-year-old Danny Dollar as he works different odd jobs to earn a lot of money. He is a responsible boy who put 90% of his earnings into the bank and is also very knowledgeable about finances and teach his sister and parents about it.

His big plan is to have a lemonade stand at a city festival. Everything is going great for him and his two employees, until some neighborhood bullies spike his last pitcher of lemonade with vinegar. And wouldn’t you know it, that is exactly when the mayor of New York City decides to buy a cup in front of the media.

Upsetting the mayor and flooded with bad press, Danny considers giving up. But the loving support of his parents inspire him with new ideas to earn his reputation back, along with more money.

Your children will delight in the silly tale; and might even be inspired to do some odd jobs around the house. Best of all, it is filled with easy to understand descriptions of money, investing, debt, inflation, and other financial terms.
