The Big Money Squeeze - Adventures in Fourth Grade Money Making

Rymer Strauss and his dad were looking for kids's books that teach about business, but they couldn't find any. There were surprised when they couldn't find books that teach kids what it's like to be an entrepreneur. The truth is, there just aren't many books that teach young people how to start their own business or how to think about money.
So Rymer decided to write one, and that's where "The Big Money Squeeze" started. He believes other kids deserve to learn how to take charge of achieving their own goals and to be inspired to start businesses. He doesn't think you have to be in college or even high school to learn how to manage money. Kids in elementary school can start thinking about these things too.
Rymer is a go-getter in real life. After successfully building nearly every Lego set ever created, he recently took on the task of building the Death Star. Amazingly, it is still in one piece despite his little sister, his brothers, and all his friends who like to play with it!
