Jimmy loves reading so much that he's inspired to start a book company for kids – run by kids. It's a big dream for a twelve-year-old boy – some would even say it's laugh-out-loud ridiculous! But that doesn't stop Jimmy from dreaming even bigger! His company will be as imaginative and fun as Willy Wonka's chocolate factory... with a Ferris wheel instead of an elevator, a bowling alley in the break room, and a river filled with floating books! He just has to believe in himself and his idea. And maybe win the Lottery. In this hilarious story filled with clever references to children's book favourites, James Patterson shows young readers that anything can be achieved if you believe in yourself no matter what!

I liked the part when Jimmy the kid officially opened his giant book company. It was huge and awesome.

This book basically tells you how James Patterson got his ideas for all his books along with the big dream of starting his own book company. I personally didn't like it but I recommend it to people that want to dream big

I liked Jimmy best because even though most people told him a book company run by kids, for kids was impossible. What interested me was that he made a book company with a roller coaster as a lift and staff riding hoverboards. I would recommend this book to someone else

I loved this book and I gave 5 stars for many reasons. The first reason in how it shows all people reading the book to never give up on you dreams, and that even when you're about to call it quits, you can remember that the ALWAYS is a way. I hope that people reading this review will read the book. It is an absolute inspiration. Laters.

I thought it would be quite weird but cool for Jimmy to make his own book company and I thought how could he win the lottery if he’s a child. I was quite surprised he would ask someone to get the ticket for him and the reason is why would a child want to win the lottery? My favourite character is Jimmy because he’s got a good sense of humour and he’s quite brave. I would definitely recommend this book.

This is a funny fiction book about a boy trying to start a book company. My favorite character was Jimmy because he is funny and likes books like me. I would recommend this.
