In "Lunch Money" by Andrew Clements, we meet Greg Kenton, an entrepreneurial fifth-grader who discovers a way to profit from selling homemade comic books to his classmates. However, when his rival, Maura Shaw, starts her own business selling lunch treats, competition heats up. The two must navigate their differences as they vie for the attention of their peers and the support of their teachers. As their rivalry escalates, they both learn valuable lessons about friendship, collaboration, and the true meaning of success. The story highlights the creativity and determination of children, along with the importance of working together. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
