The summer I was twelve, mowing lawns with Grandpa's old riding mower
turned into big business. With advice from Arnold the stockbroker, I
learned all about making money. Six weeks and hundreds of thousands of
dollars later, life got more complicated. You see, the prizefighter I
sponsor, Joey Pow, won a big fight. And a TV interview made me famous.
As Arnold says, "Capitalism plus publicity equals monster commerce."
Even my best friends wanted a piece of the action. Meanwhile, some scary
guys showed up at Joey's gym. . . . Gary Paulsen's funny follow-up to
Lawn Boy is full of big surprises and big laughs.
