Book Review By viola
Lunch Money by Andrew Clements

Greg has been a money lover since preschool. By the time he was eleven years old, he had a savings account in the bank of more than 3,200 dollars. He always looked for new ways to make money-selling lemonade, doing his brothers' chores, shoveling snow, and raking the leaves for the neighbors. Then, at the end of the fifth grade year, he made his greatest money making discovery ever.
Kids at school always had extra quarters floating around, so he decided to sell troll dolls at school for a quarter each. The principle of the school found out and said that he had to stop selling troll dolls at school. All during the summer, Greg was working on a new production-comic books. The principle hadn't said that he couldn't sell at all at school, just not troll dolls. So in sixth grade he came out with a line of miniature comics called Chunky Comics, but the school rejects those as well. Teaming up with his arch enemy, Greg thinks he can find a way to get the school to approve his comics. Will it work?
