Electric James, or Lex, as his friends call him, is finally turning ten, and that means one thing: he's getting a phone! And with the hottest phone on the market--the Apollo XL--he's sure to become the coolest kid at Roberto Clemente Elementary School. But when his parents break the news that the Apollo XL is way out of their price range, Lex is crushed.
Luckily, he has his best friends DJ and Cass. Together, they're the Brainstormerz--and they've never met a problem they couldn't solve! All they need to do now is figure out how to raise the money for the phone themselves. How hard could it be?
From the talented trio of New York Times bestselling author Kwame Alexander, Cassidy Dyce, and Eisner winning cartoonist Rashad Doucet, comes a hilarious and electrifying story about friendship, creativity, and the power of teamwork.
