Summer vacation has finally arrived and everyone, with the exception of Oliver Moffit, has something to. He runs a pet care business, and it hasn't been going well. Then he has an idea. Why not take care of the school gerbils? Oliver argues with his mom about it, and after a long,hard argument, Mrs. Moffit gives in. But she has always had one strict rule about his pet care business: ONLY ONE CUSTOMER AT A TIME. So for a little while,Oliver is happy taking care of the gerbils, even if he has to babysit Andrew, his annoying four year old neighbor. Sounds like fun, right? Well it is, for a while. Then a friend from school shows up with his fish tank, hoping Oliver will take care of them for the summer. If he doesn't than he'll have to give them away.
Oliver remembered his mother's rule,but says yes anyway. He has decided to get his mother a birthday present,because her birthday is at the end of the summer. But it is very expensive, and he can use the money. And anyway, fish aren't going to be much trouble at all. And then he finds the guinea pigs on the front doorstep......
Let's say you really like stories with morals, but you don't like Aesop's (pronounced EESOP) fables and want something a bit longer to read. Look no further! This book is the one for you.
This story is a bit short,but there is an important lesson you should learn from it. The lesson is very simple: Follow the rules. As a conclusion,I would say that this is overall a good read.
