Together, they build a small business selling “Mother Ross’s Baking Water.” No one foresees the success of this local phenomenon. And not everyone is happy about it. Now, Earl and Rebecca must fight to keep their business open – and themselves out of hot water."I bought this not knowing what to expect and was super surprised and delighted with this fast-paced, highly entertaining story told from the perspective of a 14-year old "slider" (slacker) named Earl Ross III, who finds his inner entrepreneur by partnering with his one and only friend Rebecca. Together they navigate difficult parents, endless adults who don't take them seriously, a villainous old woman named Wilma Strumble, and the law to create an honest business empire selling bottled "baking water" with extraordinary cooking properties. The writing is snappy and the book is broken up into many short chapters ranging from one paragraph to at most a couple of pages, making for a fast, fun read. It's also mostly dialogue (almost like a screenplay) so the quick pace quickly tempts the reader on to the next chapter. Within minutes I was engrossed by this wholesome, coming-of-age tale pitting teenagers against the adult establishment. Great surprise ending too! Don't miss this total gem." ~ Laurence C.
