This book is a very educational book about wealth. Cornell wants to buy some expensive basketball sneakers. He learns a value lesson in earning money, making profits, stocks, and being a business person. I really enjoyed this book and will pass it on to my 12-year-old son. These are real-life experiences and situations in this book. This book is for all ages, especially middle grades. I give this book 4 stars.

Discover the world of wealth-building and financial literacy through the eyes of Cornell, an average teen who's passion for basketball evolves into a newfound understanding of money. When he buys his first pair of sneakers, Cornell learns the difference between assets and liabilities, the art of buying low and selling high, and the significance of investing in oneself. Written by Marion Small, this children's book highlights the value of long-term financial planning over short-term instant gratification. An entertaining and educational read for kids and adults alike. Great Read.
