Lawn Boy (Student Book Talk)


Image result for lawn boy

What do you think is the highest paying job in the world? Perhaps, Professional NFL players, or the President. Maybe you will grow up one day making a lot of money for your job.

The main character (we couldn’t find his name) suddenly gets a chance at making money one morning. In only one day, he had made sixty dollars. It was only a matter of time before he had his own stockbroker, Arnold, who invests in money, and hired employees. And was even sponsoring a prizefighter…

But the main character doesn’t always constantly have good days. There are opponents that try to take over his business…

I really liked this book. I would usually not read these kinds of books, but this one really piqued my interest. The story wasn’t always happy, and there were challenges along the way. I can’t wait to read the sequel to the book, The Lawn Boy Returns!
