Have you ever loved money so much that you would do just about anything to get it? Well that's what a boy named Greg Kenton does in the book "Lunch Money." As a two year old Greg decided to do chores for his family at the price of a nickel. When he got older, he had made tons and tons of money. His brothers always ask him for money to go to the movies or something like that. He is his own bank. If he loans someone money, he has to get it back in a week, or he'll charge a nickel for late fees. When he puts his money in an actual bank, he has about four thousand dollars! Later in his life when he turns eleven, he tries to sell toys at school, but that doesn't turn out that well. Over the summer he makes these great little comic books. When school starts again, he tries to sell the comics for twenty five cents each. He notices that somebody else is selling comic books. He finally figures out who it is. If you read this great story, you will figure out who this mystery person is. The book Lunch Money is my favorite book I've ever read.

It chose this book because it has a reputation as being a funny and interesting book. This book is considered a humorous book.
The theme of Lunch Money is about a young boy named Greg Kenton who dreams about being a millionaire. Greg thinks of many ways to make money at school and at home by selling lemonade, toys, candy and comic books.
The setting for this book takes place at his school and in his neighborhood. The story takes place in the United States of America, and occurs over a two year period.
The plot of Lunch Money is about two enemies that decide to work together to sell comic books at school. By working together, instead of being enemies, Maura and Greg realize that they can overcome any obstacles if they work together. Since working together, Maura and Greg become rich and famous.
The characters in this story are Greg Kenton, Maura Shaw and Mr. Zenotopoulous. Greg, the main character is a boy who adores money and the only thing he wants in life is to become rich. Maura is a girl who lives across the street from Greg.
Mr. Zenotopoulous is a math teacher who teaches in their school and he helps them with their problems.
I liked this story because it has some humor, competition and some action in it. I think the best part of the story is when Greg and Maura make a comic book. This story made me feel happy as well as sad. The story made me happy when Greg and Maura where making the comic book together. The story made me sad when Greg and Maura got in a fight. When Andrew Clements makes another book I think I will read it. In conclusion, Greg learns about financial success as well as learning about personal relationships at a very young age.
