Description:
Tyler and His Solve-a-matic Machine is about an orphaned boy named Tyler who invents a machine to help him do his homework faster and creates a business to manufacture this machine. He must endure many tests set out for him by the Great Spirit of the Entrepreneurs, SotŽ, before he can officially become a successful business owner and realize his dream of sailing around the world. These tests are symbolic of obstacles encountered by adult entrepreneurs in the real world.

It is set in the mystical city of Nessibus, a metropolis, whose streets radiate with the energy of commerce. The true adventure begins when Tyler arrives at a magical high rise building. Each floor in the magical building takes the reader to another world where reality and imagination fuse.

Tyler encounters many adult figures in the magical building who are portrayed as animals with traits characterizing their professionsÑan octopus real-estate agent whoÕs always on her cell phone, a monkey attorney who likes to be paid in bananas, and a polar bear CPA who knows his way through crunching numbers, to name a few.

TylerÕs peers are other children of Nessibus with various skills and talents who each tell their own story of becoming entrepreneurs in separate books. These stories make up the Future Business LeadersÕ Series. The plots of the various books interweave as the characters become suppliers, customers, and referrals for one another, emphasizing the power of networking and its influence over oneÕs business success.
