Book Review

What I Liked:
Okay, so my favorite part was when Ben’s dad brought home a “mongoose farm,” but it wasn’t a real mongoose farm! That was super funny. Oh, and when his dad got a job at Starbucks, and the bingo ladies made Bilal get a bald patch on his head – that part made me laugh a lot!

I also liked all the cool business ideas. It was fun to see how they tried to make money in different ways.

My Favourite Character:
I really liked Ben because he was always coming up with great business ideas. He was nice, and he didn’t lie to his mum too much, which I thought was pretty good.

What the Book’s About:
I think the book is about how to make money and try to become a billionaire. I liked that even when one of their business ideas didn’t work, they didn’t give up and just came up with more ideas. That’s really great!

Big Surprise:
I was super surprised when they had to leave their place because of the eviction. That part made me feel kind of sad – it was a big twist!

Would I Recommend It?
Yes! I would totally recommend this book to my friends. It’s all about friendship, trying new things, and never giving up. I think they’d really like it.
