This is from Sharon Flake's website:
I write about hope in hard places, about young people who encounter challenges but through perseverance, the help of good friends and the love of family and caring adults, learn just how wonderfully gifted, determined and capable they are.
That's why she's the writer and I'm not! No way I could have put that into words as beautifully as she did. Man. She is just so brilliant. Money Hungry is the painful but indeed, hopeful story of a thirteen-year-old girl named Raspberry who lives in the projects with her mother. Raspberry believes that the only way she can feel safe in life is to amass as much money as she can. She realizes though that no matter how much money she has, it is never enough. This book is heartbreaking and so real. This is a very quick read that will stay with me for a long, long, long time.
