How do you find out who's the best barber in all of Meridian, Mississippi? With a GREAT BARBER BATTLE!

Dillard, an entrepreneur, public speaker, and personal barber, comes a new chapter book series with characters that are easy to fall for and nearly impossible to forget. Akeem S. Roberts' lively illustrations make this series a must-buy for reluctant readers.
