Cleopatra Edison Oliver has a brand new business: Passion Clips. She and her best friend Caylee are going to take the world by storm with their personalized barrettes. All they need now is their big break. So when successful businesswoman Fortune A. Davies announces a new website where "kidpreneurs" can upload ads for their businesses, Cleo invites all of her customers to film an ad for FortuneTube.
But making a commercial is different from running a business, and when Cleo's customers get fed up with her direction, she might lose her friends and her chance to shine. Meanwhile, Cleo is more and more certain that she wants to meet her birth parents -- but she's starting to wonder if they will ever want to meet her. Can she win back her friends, take her business to the next level, and find the family she's been looking for?

From the Back Cover:
Persuasion Power is not enough to get Cleo Edison Oliver out of having to clean her room or do her homework... or even guarantee her little brother will behave at the sleepover she's planning. But when the glamorous, powerful businesswoman Fortune A. Davies announces a new website where "kidpreneurs" can upload ads for their businesses, Cleo knows she can persuade her idol to endorse her latest enterprise!
She and Caylee are already selling their Passion Clips faster than sno-cones on a hot Altadena Heights day. How hard could making a commercial be? Pretty hard, it turns out. And you know what else is complicated for Cleo? Getting the opportunity to finally meet one of the birth parents she's thought about so much.
Fortunately, a little complication never stopped Cleo Edison Oliver. And it won't stop her now! You can count on it.
With Cleo Edison Oliver, NOTHING is impossible!
