"Wise, warming tale of friendship and following your dreams"
What a beaut of a book! Felix is an absolute joy of a character - determined, entrepreneurial, entertaining - and this story of kindness and following your dreams is a cheering, charming delight.
A forgotten birthday sparks Felix’s burgeoning card-making business and it’s not long before he has requests for cards coming out of his ears, and a whopping stash of cash beneath his bed. Convinced he can turn this into something more (“After all, when people kept coming up to you and giving you money...It was a no-brainer, really”), Felix shares his news with best friend Mo (creator of the original card) and sets his sights on bigger things.
But, as most business entrepreneurs know, success comes at a price, and in Felix’s case that turns out to be a pickle involving the stresses of expanding too fast, having too many orders to fulfil, unreliable equipment, and finance management. So, Felix’s wealthy Uncle Rufus is called upon as a business consultant, but his involvement only adds to the complications…
Brilliant for budding businesspeople, or anyone who’s ever had A Great Idea, this book is a shot of sunny self-belief, with a side dose of drama.

Felix is no ordinary boy. With the help of his friends, he's started his own business, and he soon has thousands of pounds stashed under his bed. But it's not all smooth sailing... especially because he hasn't told his parents yet! Friendship troubles, family drama, finances and fast cars - it's a lot for one boy to cope with. But this is Felix... and he's not going to let anything hold him back.
