[edit] Plot introduction

Always on the lookout for a fast buck, twelve-year old tycoon Ernie stumbles onto a money-making bonanza: pet funerals. He hires Dusty to decorate the burial boxes and Tony to dig the holes but his prize find is Swimming Pool, a tomboy who delivers a crying jag not to be missed. Business goes through the roof -- that is, until Ernie loses Swimming Pool over a raise and the whole venture unravels. A rollicking, fun-spirited novel about friendship, loss, business -- and how we learn to express our feelings.
