My favourite character is the Duke of Hampshire, He is kind and helpful and he helped Billy get what he
wanted.
A Concise summary:
Billy dreams of owning a candy store. He always remembers his dream because of an abandoned building
next to his home called the Grubber (an old term for a candy store).
But his dream of renovating the building is dashed when one day he notices that the building has been ren-
ovated for The Ladder less Window-Cleaning Company. The company is staffed by strange but exciting ani-
mals whom Billy quickly becomes friends with.
Billy and the animals are one day asked by the Duke of Hampshire to clean the titular Hampshire house.
They accept the duke’s request. As they clean one day, however, they catch a cat burglar trying to steal the
duke’s wife’s jewels. Because of this, the duke invites the animals to live on his estate so that they can be his
helpers. Billy turns their old building into a candy shop, fulfilling his lifelong dream.
Would you recommend this book to anyone? If yes, why?
I would highly recommend this book to Mrs. Ene because it teaches that if you dream and work hard, you will
achieve your goals. It is a very interesting book.
