Leon and his friends have a problem. Just as they are assigned to come up with a monument for their gifted pool group, they learn a terrible truth. Their favorite coffee shop, Sip, could be going out of business. Sip has been struggling against its big corporate competitor, Wackfords, another coffee chain downtown, and it's quickly losing the battle. Leon and his friends don't like this and decide to take matters into their own hands. With some help from the Wackfords manager (who is surprisingly like Leon and his friends) they form a plan to save Sip. However, you know what they say about even the best laid plans.... This book is smart and very, very funny. Readers will love going through this fight with Leon and find him as easy to relate to as a best friend. Reviewed by: Michaela Pallante aka "Mickey"
The story of a small-time business battling the superstores
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Adam Selzer's PIRATES OF THE RETAIL WASTELAND tells of a favorite coffee shop about to be put out of business by a corporate chain - and the efforts of a band of wacky gifted patrons to save it. With much tongue-in-cheek the story of a small-time business battling the superstores makes for a zany quest that is hilarious and fun.
