[edit] Plot Summary
Greg Kenton, a twelve-year-old boy is the main character in this book and has always had an interest in money. Greg realizes that school is a good place to make money. Over the summer before going into sixth grade, after a lot of attempts at selling things like candy and toys, he begins making a comic book business called Chunky Comics to sell to kids at school. After several arguments, Greg is surprised to find himself working with his arch enemy, Maura Shaw (who has always used his ideas), for making more comic books. He and Maura then have to represent their case to the school district on why it is a good idea to be able to sell Chunky Comics, and get the help of their math teacher, Mr. Zenotopoulous.
