“This is the funniest book I’ve read in years.”
–Chris Grabenstein, #1 New York Times bestselling creator of the Mr. Lemoncello series

ABC’s Shark Tank meets The Terrible Two when a pair of sixth grade entrepreneurs compete to grow to be top mogul on their block.

Twelve-year-old Peter Gronkowski prides himself on being a professional businessman. Tired of the clichéd lemonade stands that line his block, he comes to a decision to start a better business with the assistance of an intern. But his intern of choice, the quiet and writerly Rachel Chambers, turns out to be more than he bargained for. Rachel is innovative, resourceful, driven–and when she’s had enough of Peter’s overbearing management style, she comes to a decision to start a competing empire next door. As their rivalry and sabotage tactics grow to be more outrageous–Slander! Espionage! Lemonade threats!–Peter and Rachel in the end learn the hard way that “nothing gold can stay” and that friendship is more important than money.

Alternating perspectives reveal what in reality motivates each and every character to win. And Peter’s memos and “business tips” in addition to excerpts from Rachel’s melodramatic novel-in-progress generate fresh hilarity and tension at each and every page turn. Payback on Poplar Lane is a pitch-perfect comedy with heart, harking back to your favorite classic middle-grade series.
