The Accidental Billionaire

by Tom McLaughlin

Jasper Spam loves science—but his experiments usually end in disaster, often with a loud explosion. Then one day, in a mix-up involving a garden shed, a mallet, and a misfired laser, something incredible happens: his cat, Rover, starts to talk.

At last, one of Jasper’s inventions actually works. He dubs it the Cat Chat 2000, and it’s an instant sensation. Soon, everyone wants a talking cat, and Jasper is suddenly rich beyond his wildest dreams—buying mansions, sports teams, even making his own movie.

But not everything that talks is harmless. As Jasper’s success grows, so does the trouble his invention brings—and he’s about to learn that some problems can’t be solved with science or money.
