Greg had started looking around the cafeteria, and everywhere he looked, he saw quarters. He saw kidstrading quartrs for ice-cream sandwiches and cupcakes and cookies at the dessert table. He saw kids over at the school store trading quarters for neon pens and sparkly pencils, and for the little decorations like rubber soccer balls and plastic butterflies to stick onto the ends of those new pencils... There were quarters all over the place, buckets of them.
At that moment Greg's view of school chanded completely and forever. School had suddenly become the most interesting place on the planet. Because young Greg Kenton had decided that school would be an excellent place to make his fortune.
This would be a really good book to introduce idea of making money and kids having their own business. It shows the hard work it takes to have a business and that it isn't just going to be a make a lot of money easy deal like some kids think. A funny book - easy reading and the characters are so believable. Kids will enjoy it! Might even get them thinking about having a business of their own!
