Twelve-year-old Mark Hoffman disrespects authority, cuts class at every opportunity, and suspects he knows better than nearly every adult in Walton, New York. He may be right—he is, after all, one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the community. Between product rollouts and pie fights, Mark and his hilarious, money-hungry friends just might revive their dying hometown, if only the grown-ups would stop arresting them and shutting down their businesses.
About The Author
Like the heroes of The Walton Street Tycoons, Jim Lesczynski wanted to be wealthy and powerful from an early age. Lacking their talent and work ethic, however, he became a writer instead. Jim has been employed full-time as a writer for the last 20 years, mostly in the financial services industry. His political commentary has been featured in such publications as The New York Sun and Serf City, and his freedom activism has led to appearances on The Daily Show, News Night With Aaron Brown, Wolf Blitzer Reports, and countless talk radio programs. This is his first novel.
Reviews
<i>The Walton Street Tycoons</i> by Jim Lesczynski is simply the best libertarian novel to come along in a quarter of a century or so... It has exactly the same true heart and unerring eye that we love in so many of Robert A. Heinlein's "juveniles"—books, in truth, fully as entertaining and engrossing to adults as they are to kids—a spirit and vision perfectly suited to the 21st century. —L. Neil Smith, four-time Prometheus Award winner and author of <i>The Probability Broach</i>
