    [synopsis] => The unstoppable Cleo Edison Oliver returns in an adventure that's rich in all senses of the word.
	Cleopatra Edison Oliver has a brand new business: Passion Clips. She and her best friend Caylee are going to take the world by storm with their personalized barrettes. All they need now is their big break. So when successful businesswoman Fortune A. Davies announces a new website where "kidpreneurs" can upload ads for their businesses, Cleo invites all of her customers to film an ad for FortuneTube.But making a commercial is different from running a business, and when Cleo's customers get fed up with her direction, she might lose her friends and her chance to shine. Meanwhile, Cleo is more and more certain that she wants to meet her birth parents -- but she's starting to wonder if they will ever want to meet her. Can she win back her friends, take her business to the next level, and find the family she's been looking for?

Davies:It has been almost a month since I last wrote, so I thought you might like an update. A lot has happened with Cleopatra Enterprises, Inc. -- things that might sound not so good at first, but that I am CONFIDENT will all work out for the best.My last business, Cleo's Quick and Painless Tooth Removal Service, had several satisfied customers (see www.YouTube.com/watch?v=8iQjy0ZuMs for an example of one, my brother Josh). Some unfortunate decisions on my part forced us to have to close down (for now). Howeve, I learned some very valuable lessons from this experience, which I passed on to my fifth-grade class as a part of my recent and most highly successful Passion Project presentation. One thing I learned is that I need to be more careful about how I use my POWERS of PERSUASION. I've got a lot of these powers, but according to my mom, there's a fine line between persuasion and being pushy. Sometimes I don't know my own strength.The really good thing to come out of all this is that I have formed a board of directors: my parents, Charlie and Nicki Oliver, and my business partner's mom, Mrs. Ortega. I am the CHAIRGIRL of the board, of course :). All future ideas will be run past the board before we start telling the whole world (something I failed to do last time).My partner, Caylee, and I already have another business planned -- CAYLEE'S CUTIES™. These aren't just any barrettes. They're personalized, and they're going to sell like sno-cones on an Altadena Heights summer day (another one of my businesses).Speaking of business, I need to get back to work. I've got a corporation to run. I just want you to know -- YOU ARE MY INSPIRATION!!! And if you ever do a show on business kids, I hope you will think of me!!!Your best admirer who wants to be just like you,Cleopatra Edison Oliver, CEOP.S. I already h
