Money Hungry

Money Hungry
By Sharon Flake

Raspberry is obsessed with cash. She is constantly getting in trouble at school for her business ventures, including selling two-year old candy to her classmates. No one understands that to Raspberry, money is the only thing keeping her safe. She and her mother may live in an apartment now, but it wasn’t that long ago that they were living on the street. Will Raspberry’s “money hungry” behavior be enough to keep a roof over their heads, or will they end up on the streets…again? This is a powerful story with true-to-life situations and characters. A must-read novel!
