 Lawn Boy by Gary Paulsen
One day I was twelve years old and broke. I set out to mow some lawns with Grandpa's old riding mower. One client was Arnold the stockbroker, who offered to teach me about: the beauty of capitalism. Supply and demand. Diversifying labor. Distributing the wealth. "It's groovy, man," Arnold said.
The grass grew, and so did business. Arnold invested my money in many things. One of them was a prizefighter. All of a sudden I was the sponsor of my very own fighter, Joey Pow. That's when my twelfth summer got really interesting.
Gary Paulsen's comic story about a summer job becomes a slapstick lesson in business as one boy turns a mountain of grass into a mountain of cash.

 April 12th is author Beverly Cleary's birthday and National D.E.A.R. Day. It is a special reading celebration to remind and encourage families to make reading together on a daily basis a family priority. To get you started, we have created a list of books for children and teens that are worth dropping everything to read. To make it easier, the list is divided into 6 sections: picture books, fairy/folk tales, beginning to read, easy books, early elementary, older elementary, and teen books.
Help us celebrate by sharing your photos and/or short videos of family & friends dropping everything & reading. You can share your photos on the PLS DEAR Flickr Group or by adding them to our Facebook page.
