Fun, Easy, Read!
This book was a book I had to read for my math monthly book report! It was very easy for me (I'm a 6th grader!) and the report was easy to do. It is a good book for anyone the ages of 8-> It is about a kid named Greg, and he loves money. Not just spending it, but making it, saving it, counting it and so on. He tries to sell items at school, but that didn;t work, so he tried to sell comics! That was great, but someone was copying him! His neighbor, Maura. She always copys him at everything, and tries to make it better. They fight a little, but then become friends and make the comic books together!
