The Toothpaste Millionaire by Jean Merrill April 25, 2009

Posted by jcarlson in : Friendship Fiction , trackback

This story takes place in Cleveland and has some math in it.  It’s about a boy named Rufus who thinks 73 cents for toothpaste is ridiculous.  So he and his friend Kate make millions selling 15 cent toothpaste.  If you’re a math and adventure person, you’ll love this book.  I liked the book because it had math in it.
