It's the Water Kindle Edition

by mala (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
5.0 out of 5 stars 2 ratings
Earl Ross III and Rebecca Overton are minors, but they won’t let themselves be called “kids.”
They’re Business People.
And now they’re in court.
As it turns out, developing and marketing a successful product are the least of their worries.

It's the Water is recommended for kids and young adults.

It starts when Earl, a teenager from the City just sliding through life, decides it would be fun to enter his mother Susanna’s baking in the upstate county fair, where their summer cabin is.

Rebecca, looking for a venture to interrupt the humdrum of her life in Copper Falls, capitalizes on Earl’s suggestion that the cabin well water is the reason for Susanna’s sweeping win.

Together, they build a small business selling “Mother Ross’s Baking Water.” No one foresees the success of this local phenomenon. And not everyone is happy about it.

Now, Earl and Rebecca must fight to keep their business open – and themselves out of hot water.

"I bought this not knowing what to expect and was super surprised and delighted with this fast-paced, highly entertaining story told from the perspective of a 14-year old "slider" (slacker) named Earl Ross III, who finds his inner entrepreneur by partnering with his one and only friend Rebecca. Together they navigate difficult parents, endless adults who don't take them seriously, a villainous old woman named Wilma Strumble, and the law to create an honest business empire selling bottled "baking water" with extraordinary cooking properties. The writing is snappy and the book is broken up into many short chapters ranging from one paragraph to at most a couple of pages, making for a fast, fun read. It's also mostly dialogue (almost like a screenplay) so the quick pace quickly tempts the reader on to the next chapter. Within minutes I was engrossed by this wholesome, coming-of-age tale pitting teenagers against the adult establishment. Great surprise ending too! Don't miss this total gem." ~ Laurence C. Smith, author of Rivers of Power

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

mala teams with others who enjoy observing the world and dreaming up likely and unlikely characters. Some may be interesting.

mala’s time is divided between New England, NYC (which is not remotely connected to N.E.), and a somber European city way to the north of happier places such as Warsaw.

It’s The Water, a debut novella, was inspired by spending several months each year, for decades, in a remote log cabin with no amenities. Aside from the well.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Disney, read this

    Well written! Kids and adults (me) will love the characters (except for one) and the story. I did. Great diversion from today’s health issues. It’s a kids “business people” against the world of grown-up entanglements. It would make a great Disney movie.
