{"product_id":"lunch-money-9780689866838","title":"Lunch Money","description":"Greg Kenton has always had a natural talent for making money -- despite the annoying rivalry of his neighbor Maura Shaw. Then, just before sixth grade, Greg makes a discovery: Almost every kid at school has an extra quarter or two to spend almost every day. \u003cbr\u003e Multiply a few quarters by a few hundred kids, and for Greg, school suddenly looks like a giant piggy bank. All he needs is the right hammer to crack it open. Candy and gum? Little toys? Sure, kids would love to buy stuff like that at school. But would teachers and the principal permit it? Not likely. \u003cbr\u003e But how about comic books? Comic books might work. Especially the chunky little ones that Greg writes and illustrates himself. Because everybody knows that school always encourages reading and writing and creativity and individual initiative, right? \u003cbr\u003e In this funny and timely novel, Andrew Clements again holds up a mirror to real life, and invites young readers to think about money, school, friendship, and what it means to be a success.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Atheneum Books for Young Readers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780689866838\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.48h x 6.14w x 0.85d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Pennsylvania Young Reader's Choice Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Keystone to Reading Book Award - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Louisiana Young Readers' Choice Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Colorado Children's Book Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Charlotte Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Charlie May Simon Children's Book Award - Honor Book\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Iowa Children's Choice (ICCA) Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Nene Award - Recommended\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Young Hoosier Book Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Garden State Children's Book Awards - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Nene Award - Recommended\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Nene Award - Recommended\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Maud Hart Lovelace Book Award - Second Place\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eIngram Children's Advance\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2005 pg. 52\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Review - Children\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/15\/2005 pg. 679\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/20\/2005 pg. 77\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eVoice of Youth Advocates\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2005 pg. 213 - Recommended - Readable\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2005 pg. 122\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBulletin of Ctr for Child Bks\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2005 pg. 132\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2006 pg. 69 - Recommended, Satisfactory\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e88626 \/ Lunch Money\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.2 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 6\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Andrew Clements","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51924685226165,"sku":"9780689866838","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_2d2ff412-24e6-441f-ae51-fb1166c65bc1.jpg?v=1761660420","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/lunch-money-9780689866838","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
