Introduction
My name’s Benji Franklin! After inventing a best-selling computer app that helps people come up with creative and time-saving excuses, I became the world’s youngest and, well, only ZILLIONAIRE!
But I quickly discovered that life wasn’t all about the Benjamins. I’ve decided to use my newfound wealth for the greater good—like saving the world from cloned killer dinosaurs, building super-powered rocket ships, and launching a solid gold submarine. Or two!
Chapter 1
I’d Love to Chat, But…
When I invented the world-famous Excuse Yourself app, I made it for kids. I didn’t expect so many adults to want to use it too. But my data shows that more adults use Excuse Yourself than kids! It’s not very helpful to them, of course, because it’s designed to solve everyday kids’ problems, like forgetting homework or accidentally
feeding the dog your lunch. Stuff like that.
I thought about creating an adult version of Excuse Yourself but figured it would probably be totally boring creating an app that helps adults get out of work, paying bills, and whatever else adults do. Also, I don’t have the time. Since creating Excuse Yourself, I’ve been super busy. It seems like every time there’s a catastrophe about to happen that adults can’t figure out, they want my help.
But I’m not complaining. I’ve built a business helping the world’s most successful people get out of some of the world’s most dangerous situations.
I don’t mean to brag, but I’m what you might call superhero-ish. I don’t have a cape or a costume or anything like that, but I know how to save the day.
When I got the call for my latest mission, I was at lunch. It was pretty bad timing because Cindy Meyers—the biggest pain in the rump at my school—was sitting directly across from me. We’re allowed to have phones at school, but we’re not supposed to take calls, so I put in my earbuds to make it look like I was only listening to music.
It was a video call, and I recognized the number. I clicked the answer icon, and Sir Robert appeared on my screen.
Good afternoon, Master Franklin!
I nodded without saying anything.
You seem a bit stiff, lad. Are you all right?
asked Sir Robert.
I nodded again. Cindy was staring right at me, arms crossed.
I see you talking on your phone, Benji Franklin,
she said, taking out her own phone. I’m emailing this to the principal. So I suggest you hang up.
Cindy is in charge of the school Decency Committee. She’s always on the lookout for kids breaking the rules. For some reason, she seems to be everywhere I go.
I can’t talk right now,
I whispered to Sir Robert. I’m going to get in trouble.
Nonsense!
he insisted. Something’s come up that requires your immediate attention.
I’m at lunch right now,
I told him, and I’m really going to get into trouble if I keep talking.
"Don’t be absurd. I’ll
