Willis Wilbur has the entire summer in front of him. So it's time to
fulfill his destiny: becoming the neighborhood life coach.
Nine-year-old Willis Wilbur had his summer figured out. He and his best
friend, Shelley, were going to Band Camp, and he was going to learn how
to play the sousaphone. Easy. Simple. A done deal. But when Shelley is
whisked off to Hawaii for a summer with her family, Willis is left
staring down the long, boring road of an empty summer. Or even
worse--eight long weeks of Day Camp. So Willis decides to try
something new. He's going to MAKE A DATE WITH DESTINY. And after
spotting a flyer for a local business competition, he finds exactly what
his true calling really is: becoming the Neighborhood Life Coach. A kid
helping other kids with kids' problems. His niche, he discovers. And
he was going to be great at it. The best at it. So good, that he was
going to become wildly, ridiculously famous. All he needed were some
clients...
With gumption, tenacity, and many other buzzwords he finds in self-help
business magazines, Willis dives bowtie-first into the entrepreneurial
waters. But starting a business alone, especially without his best
friend by his side, is tough work. And with neighborhood bullies getting
in his way, a guinea pig client who's actually a guinea pig, and an
annoyingly competent little sister asking for a raise, Willis has his
work cut out for him.
Funny, heartfelt, and overwhelmingly endearing, Willis Wilbur is here to
make all of your (well, his) dreams come true. (For a small fee.)
