What Parents Need to Know
About She's So Money
Parents need to know that this book is about a girl who starts a cheating ring, making money by doing other kids' homework and roping in other smart kids to help her. There is some kissing, some label dropping, and a swear word here and there. More importantly, there is also some complicated material that could come off as sexual harassment. Though it's played for laughs, Maya is taken against her will by rich Camden to his house, where he proceed to slip into the hot tub. When Maya complains about being kidnapped, he tells her "No one would ever believe you." In another plot point, a boy that Maya gently rejects gets mad and ends up blackmailing her; she gets an extension by whispering in his ear, which she admits is the "closest to prostitution" as she's come.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about cheating. Parents can use this book to remind kids of the rules -- and the consequences both at home and at school. Parents could also talk to their kids about cheating in the media. It's become a hot-button issue in the past few years. Are more kids cheating now than before? If so, is this because of the pressure kids feel to succeed? Do your kids see a lot of cheating going on around their schools?
