Book description

Banksy is dedicated to his ambition to become mega-rich through his various money-making schemes. His business partners - and next-door neighbours - are the Baxter Brothers. Billy has boundless confidence and enthusiasm, and Sam is six going on sixty. And then there's Dingdong, their cousin, who is reluctantly allowed to join in, especially if she can help them out of a tight fix... Two stories in one!   SYNCHRONISED SURVEILLANCE When petty thefts occur in their village, Banksy comes up with the idea that they could make money by providing a security service. But can they really persuade the neighbours to pay them to keep watch - and will they know when to stop? THE BOGIE OF DOOM The boys accidentally discover a new money-making scheme when they start selling drinks in hot weather. But when they move to the park and turn it into a competition - complete with pancake tossing - the signs point to a sticky end... Will Baxter's 'creative' ways mean success at last - or a total disaster? Rose Impey is highly regarded as a writer for children of all ages.
