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. His wrestler came to talk to Rock but Rock got scared and ran to his truck.
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.
Lawn Boy is a story about a boy who gets a lawn mower for his birthday. He also starts sponsoring a wrestler.All seemed well, but one day, a man named Rock tried to steal the boy's money.
Arnold invests in a lot of different companies. With their luck, the boy ended up getting rich.
He came back one more time though. This is a great book.
When I read it to him he wasn't inthralled and neither was I. I bought this book to read to my 7 year old son. It is hard to find books that young boys will like that isn't Sponge-Bob or some other TV show. If you are looking for a book for an elementary school boy Gary Paulson's Harris and Me is much better and very funny. The Hatchet is great also, but not as funny as Harris and Me.
I wish I would have known this book would turn so violent in the end. I thought it was a book about a boy who learned how to run a business and make his own money, and instead it turned into him making a decision to take the law into his own hands, and handle a business situation in a totally unbelievable manner. This book gives a bizarre message about how to handle competition and amazingly his parents go along with it. I thought the first half of the book was really good and couldn't wait to have my son read it, but after reading through to the end, I would not recommend this book if you're interested in teaching your children about how to run a legitimate business and learn critical business skills.
Love, love, love this story. My husband is a stockbroker and mowed lawns to put himself through college so this story is near and dear to him. It is also a fun way to introduce kids to the stock marker and business in a very entertaining way. Love it.
Lawn Boy is a ok book, maybe for older kids, my son 9 years old. It was not a intresting for him as much as"secrets of a lab rat book".
