SuitabookFelix Unlimited
Andrew Norriss
- Reading
- Read alongside a conversation about borrowing creative work, sharing responsibility and handling money. Invite the child to distinguish a promising idea from a well-managed enterprise.
- Themes
- Entrepreneurship and risk: Felix tries several business ideas, then builds a card business whose popularity spreads beyond his family and school. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Friendship, honesty and trust: Felix borrows an illustration from Mo, and the venture involves Mo, Ellie-Mae, Ned and their families. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Adult and community responsibility: Felix's earlier ventures have caused trouble for parents, school and police; Uncle Rufus later advises and protects the young entrepreneurs. The story includes the wider responsibilities created when children's activities become public and financially significant.
- Worth knowing
- Pay attention to the pressure surrounding rapid success: money accumulates, the business becomes public, and earlier ventures have caused trouble for parents, school and police.
