Greg Kenton, a twelve-year-old boy is the main character in this book and has always had an interest in money. Greg realizes that school is a good place to make money. Over the summer before going into sixth grade, after a lot of attempts at selling things like candy and toys, he begins making a comic book business called Chunky Comics to sell to kids at school. With the help of their math teacher, Mr. Z, at the School Committee they manage to get the approval for their comic book club, and the book ends listing all their successes, including having their comic books nationally distributed. That is pretty much the main points in the book.
I recommend this book for all types of kids because I still read little parts of it today and I find the book amusing. The other I found really cool is that in my copy of the book, in the middle, there is a ripped page that was made with the book and you could still read the words so it was not like it was terribly ripped. I found that very clever!
The other thing that made me read this book was the action. It was not like gun shooting action, it was more like action in the way that you couldn't wait to see what happens next because they characters were always tying to avoid obstacles. Last but not least, the cover of the book was pretty well thought out too. I like how it has Greg in a dollar bill holding up the comic, but I wish there were more character on it like Mr. Z and/or Maura, but maybe they didn't want to spoil the character in the book. You never know. At the end of the day, this book would be considered to me as a good roller coaster ride.
