From Publishers Weekly PW praised Danziger's "vibrant， present-tense narrative， characteristically overflowing with puns， jibes and jokes" in this trenchant tale of a young entrepreneur. Ages 9-12. Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information， Inc. From School Library Journal Grade 4-6-- Matthew just can't understand why his parents won't buy him the nifty computer program he wants. After all， he makes good grades and never causes any real problems. Determined to have it， he embarks upon a frenzy of fund raising. However， for an 11-year-old， earning money is not easy. When his friend Jil! suggests forming a company to sell cards that can be designed and produced on Matthew's computer， it seems to be the perfect solution. Then， when snacking， video games， and inattention threaten success， Matthew must make some decisions. Fourth in the series that began with Everyone Else's Parents Said Yes (Delacorte， 1989)， this book continues to explore adolescence through a boy's point of view. Because Matthew is older now， there is less gross (but funny) food humor， and girls have changed from enemies into rather interesting creatures and maybe even friends. Incorporated into the story is a discussion of the seductive dangers of debt， the fallibility of adults， and the importance of being charitable. Large dollops of humor will make this a popular read for fans of Make Like a Tree and Leave (1990) and Earth to Matthew (1991， both Delacorte).- Cindy Darling Codell， Clark Middle School， Winchester， KYCopyright 1992 Reed Business Information， Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
