About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is obsessed with money, fame, or finding a 'shortcut' to success rather than putting in the work. It is a perfect choice for the young entrepreneur who needs a gentle, humorous reality check about the grit behind the glamour. Molly Mac is a spunky, relatable protagonist who thinks she has found the ultimate career: writing books for 'big bucks.' When a real author visits her class, she tries everything (including a makeshift mind-control hat) to extract his secrets. The story navigates her journey from greed to disappointment and finally to a spark of genuine creative inspiration. It is a lighthearted way to discuss how passion, not just a paycheck, fuels great work.
