An inspiring book that I remembered from childhood, looked up, and enjoyed just as thoroughly again as an adult. The story of a friendship between a white girl and a black boy, who happens to be an entrepreneurial genius.

When I was about 12, I first read this book and loved it. Years later, I re-read it and was amazed at how technical it is. It's virtually a business lesson in a book. But it's also a great story of ambition, success, and perseverence. Highly recommended!
