Lunch Money
by Andrew Clements
Genre: Realistic Fiction/A.R. 5.2
Greg Kenton has had a preoccupation with making money since he was a preschooler. He's also had a rival in the money-making business... his neighbor, Maura Shaw. They are in sixth grade now and the competition between them has reached a boiling point. When both of them start drawing and selling comic books at school, they must find a way to work together before the principal shuts down their enterprises altogether. There are plenty of lessons to be learned by kids and adults alike.
