Lawn Boy

Lawn Boy Review

Lawn Boy is a story about a boy who gets a lawn mower for his birthday. He decides to start a lawn mowing business to get some cash for the summer.

The story takes place in a suburban neighborhood. In the story, the boy meets a man named Arnold who in exchange for mowing his lawn, offers to be his stockbroker. Arnold invests in a lot of different companies. With their luck, the boy ended up getting rich. He also starts sponsoring a wrestler.

All seemed well, but one day, a man named Rock tried to steal the boy's money. His wrestler came to talk to Rock but Rock got scared and ran to his truck. He came back one more time though. When he did, the wrestler beat him up.

My favorite part of the book is when Rock got scared and ran away from the wrestler.

I would recommend this book to anyone who reads because they like to read, not because someone makes them. This is a great book.

Lawn Boy Overview

One day I was twelve years old and broke. I set out to mow some lawns with Grandpa’s old riding mower. One client was Arnold the stockbroker, who offered to teach me about: the beauty of capitalism. Supply and demand. Diversifying labor. Distributing the wealth. “It’s groovy, man,” Arnold said.
The grass grew, and so did business. Arnold invested my money in many things. One of them was a prizefighter. All of a sudden I was the sponsor of my very own fighter, Joey Pow. That’s when my twelfth summer got really interesting.

Gary Paulsen’s comic story about a summer job becomes a slapstick lesson in business as one boy turns a mountain of grass into a mountain of cash.
