The Builder Brothersare back!
Drew and Jonathan Scott’ssecondchildren’s book— and the second in theirBuilder Brothersseries — debuted on Tuesday with HarperCollins, titledBuilder Brothers: Better Together. It’s a sequel toBuilder Brothers: Big Plans, which was released in October 2018.
“Like our first book,Builder Brothers: Big Plans, this book draws from our experiences growing up,” Drew says. “There was always a bit (or a lot!) of brotherly competition between us, whichpushed us to be better, just like the brothers in the book.”
“We really enjoyed reminiscing about our childhood while writing this book,” Jonathan agrees. “Writing books like this means that we get to hold onto those memories even longer, and seeing these brothers come to life is fun for us.”
Without revealing any spoilers, it’s safe to say that the moral of the story is “teamwork makes the dream work,” and when you work together, you’re always better. Like inBig Plans,Better Togetheralso includes instructions for a kid-friendly DIY project at the end!
Just like in the book, the brothers admit that they have had some stubborn moments which have torn them apart at times, though never for long.
“In ninth grade, we had a business selling these little personal security devices,” Drew remembers. “We sold out of our first round of 50 units in a day. I knew it was a one-and-done venture — we’d saturated the market, after all. But Jonathan was positive that I was wrong, so he ordered a couple hundred more devices (against my better judgment). He learned a tough lesson when he realized that I was indeed correct and that he wasn’t on the fast-track to becoming a self-made, personal security billionaire.”

“Jonathan and I have achievedmuch more as a duothan we ever could have on our own,” Drew says. “We want to help kids see how important it is to stick together and be there for one another.”
“We also want to inspire more families to read together!” Jonathan adds.
