J.D. and the Family Business

Eight-year-old kid barber J.D. joins forces with his sister, who has beauty shop dreams, in this hilarious illustrated chapter book series.

After a barber battle that crowns him best barber in all of Meridian, Mississippi, J.D. has reached the top. He's graduated from home haircuts to having a regular chair at the local shop, Hart and Son, and he's making enough money to keep his candy jar stocked and his comic book collection growing. And yet, he can't shake the feeling of . . . boredom. J.D. knows it's time for his next challenge. He doesn't just want to be the best barber in Meridian, and he wants to be the best barber in the state . . . and maybe the country! When his sister, Vanessa, starts to gain a following online with hair tutorials, the kids decide that to truly level up, they must join forces. How do two siblings with big personalities, big ambitions, and competitive spirits work together (or not) to take over the hair world?

From the hilarious and creative mind of J. Dillard, an entrepreneur, public speaker, and personal barber, comes the second book in a chapter book series with characters that are easy to fall for and nearly impossible to forget. Akeem S. Roberts's lively illustrations make this series a must-buy for reluctant readers.
