Take a journey with George Poo as he travels from England to the United States in pursuit of the American dream. It’s one of those good historical fiction books about the American dream and social issues that the Pacific Book Review called, '...one of the most original narratives within the humorous fiction genre.'It’s a story that explores the American class system through a humorous style that is entertaining and easy to read. George Poo uses his scientific knowledge to create a successful fertilizer company that enables people to express themselves how they want. As he transforms into one of the wealthiest men in America, he founds a town in southern Maryland and creates a unique society. But will George ever achieve his dream of making America a better place?The Pacific Book Review went on to say, 'the fusion of this (humorous fiction) genre and historical fiction genre made for an engaging plot, and study of the class system and corporate greed within a funny setting made the story stand out.'It’s a rare combination of humorous and historical fiction that combines social issues, the American class system, and the American dream to shed light on the greatness and problems of the United States. Readers will laugh and empathize with the 'pooers' and 'doers' that might make this story one of the best fiction books about the American dream or perhaps one of the best fiction books about social issues.Nonetheless, readers will get an important message in this humorous fiction book as the Poo family journey spans over 150 years. During that time, the story presents the best and the worst that our nation has to offer.
