Lawn Boy Returns Tom Parks

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."
