About the book
Sixth-grader Rufus Mayflower didn't set out to be a millionaire--he only wanted to save money on toothpaste. After challenging himself to make a gallon of toothpaste for the same price as a single tube, Rufus and his best friend Kate set up a backyard business that soon succeeds beyond their wildest expectations.
