This book is called Lunch Money. It is by Andrew Clements. This book is about a boy named Greg Kenton. He doesn't like his annoying neighbor, Maura Shaw. He loves making money. When Greg finds out Maura is copying him by making comics he loses it, but later they work together on 1 comic book. Their artnership might be ruined after the principal bans their comics from school. I felt happy when they started working together. I will always remember this book. I would definitely recommend this book to others.

Greg Kenton has always had a compassion for money. So when his main rival, Maura Shaw, starts cutting into his comics' business, he is outraged. Maura has always been a copycat, and this was the last straw. As the book goes on, Maura and Greg become business partners, but their partnership is soon threatened. Read Lunch Money! It's a good book!

This is about a book called Lunch Money by Andrew Clements, author of Frindle, a million-copy bestseller. Lunch Money is about a boy named Greg, who has always dreamed of being rich, but he not only dreams of it, he works for it. In 6th grade, Greg starts selling his small homemade "Chunky Comics," as he calls them, at school. This then leads to his paranoia of his copycat neighbor, Maura Shaw, "cutting into his profits" with her "Eentsy Beensty books." Greg's comics also trigger other, slightly violent comics by other kids causing Greg's principal to forbid him to sell comics at school. Can Greg get his comic sales going again? I agree that Maura was a copycat, even though she denied it. I found Greg's moneymaking schemes inspiring since they told me that I have to work for money. I would recommend this book for anybody who loves money.

This book is about a kid named Greg who loves money. He loves saving it and making it. He's loved money all his life, he's mowed lawns and did a lot of odd jobs to make it and by the time he was 11 he had $3,200.

Then one day in fifth grade, Greg Kenton discovered the greatest financial discovery of his young life. He discovered that school would be a great place to make his fortune because of all the kids who have extra quarters to spend.

He found quarters harder to come by then he had planned and he faced many challenges including his rival Maura. Greg never stopped pursuing her business and eventually teamed up with her and finally was able to sell their comics at school with their approval.

The name of this book is Lunch Money by Andrew Clements. A boy named Greg learns that every kid in the school has an extra quarter to spend. What can this soon-to-be-a-millionaire boy going to do? Make a comic book company and sell comic books, of course! With quarters in their hands, every kid in school is waiting to get a copy of the new "Chunky Comics" Volume 1 Edition 1. But when the principal of Ashworth School stops Greg, he must team up with his rival enemy and make the best selling child-made comic book in world history. Hurray for Andrew for making a great book for those children who want to learn about money, school, friendship, and what it means to be a success. I love this book!!!
