I enjoyed this middle grade story with all of the characters within. The main characters were Rymer, Ash,Nia and Ollie.

Rymer, Ash,Nia and Ollie are neighborhood friends that have a club house in Rymer's back yard. Their club house is made from Lego that they bought and saved. While laying around the club house they decided that they want to have a TV and gaming system in the club to. But they don't have the money for it. So they come up with different ideas to try them out to get money fast. Some of the idea are quite funny while others not able to do.

This was a fun story to read. It had action,adventure and drama throughout. It had a few giggles or laughs within.

I received a complimentary copy via Netgalley. This is my honest unbiased opinions.

What a wonderful story. It is fun and funny. A group of friends want to buy a video game set and TV for their backyard fort. Kids will laugh at their attempts to make some cash. SPOILER: By the end, the money is earned but it was not easy. They achieved their goal by making a plan and sticking to it. With help from their parents, the group uses all of the tools available to them to create their business, advertise it, provide a good product and collect enough money to succeed.

I would recommend this book for kids over 5 that understand it takes money to purchase things they want. Not only does it teach kids that idea of working hard for what they want, it gives them the tools to succeed with a business plan. It is written in an easy, fun manner while providing children with this important skill. I loved it and recommended it for all kids.


I received an ARC from Advantage Media Group, ForbesBook through NetGalley. This in no way affects my opinion or rating of this book. I am voluntarily submitting this review and am under no obligation to do so.

The Big Money Squeeze features Rymer , his fourth grade friends, and family. They have built a LEGO treehouse and want a gaming system and a tv. They need to make the money for this purchase. They try and discount many ideas before settling on a workable one. Although I applaud this book on some level, I was disturbed with one way they tried, and unsettled by the wealth they lived with. Not many kids have parents who could support their venture even with a loan. . Even when they compared what the tooth fairy left them in exchange for their teeth I was surprised by the large amount for each tooth.
