Amazing

This book shows how everybody goes through a few rough patches in their life, but the gotta keep on moving and things will turn out right. This book also has a lot more of a Romantic Comedy feel to it than the first one did.

read-a-holic

this was a preety good book i liked it. and the challenges that she faced are going on in every day life so i thought it was easy to relate to.

Go Raspberry!

This is a great book. It shows how life is for the less fortunate. It tells a story about a girl who was brave, but had a big problem. In the end she realized stealing isn't the answer. Her father is a crack-head and steals from her and her mom. It's a great book. I loved it.

Keep On Going Rasberry

Begging for change is a sequel to Money Hungry,also about Rasberry. Money Hungry is about Rasberry's mother dating her best friend Zora. She also sees her father after a lot of years that he left her and her mother.

Loved It !

I loved this book. It did not sugarcoat the realness of real-life situations, which I liked, yet it was not innapropriate.I would give it 4 1/2 stars out of five because I didn't LOVE the ending, but it wasnt bad. I would definately recommend this book.

Begging for change in her life

It has been a while since Rasberry's mother has thrown out all her money out the window. Now with struggling to get a house, her mother dating her friend's father, and after her house has been robbed many times Rasberry is trying to get over the fact her father isn't coming back. But then once he does she doesn't want him back. Her mother has been hit in the head by their crazed neighbor who was kicked out of the house. Her father comes to the house saying he's trying to be a better man, but all he does is steal Rasberry's money. The 2nd time he comes to her house because the police beat him up and he steals her money Rasberry goes after him. Once she finds him she finds his peach tree that had been planted from a peach she had given him she steps all over it and finds out that he hasn't moved at all for days from his friend.

I never read any book like this before but once I got this book I just couldn't put it down. If you like books about drama then this is the book for you.When I fist saw this book I thought it would be boring but once you start reading it gets really good.This book is the second book in the series.

fantastic review for Begging For Change

The book Begging for Change is a wonderful book based on the struggles of living on the streets. It talks about the heart ache, the pain , and the struggles that Raspberry Hill went through . Her dad left her when she was a little girl. When she finally became a teenager, her dad showed up at here door asking for help. The author Sharon G. Flake is a very powerful writer. She has written many books like Money Hungry, The Skin I¿m In, and Bang. Sharon G. Flake has won many awards like, Best Books for Young Adult Readers, Quick Pick for Reluctant Readers, the New York Public Library, and Top Ten Books for the Teen Age. The book Begging For Change is a good book for boys and girls and for all teenage and adult ages. It shows that even when there are times when you would want to leave and quit there is always a way out. This is a wonderful book that reflects on a life that we usually do not see. Hope you read it soon.

This Book was EXCELLENT!!!

This book was so awesome. When I read this book it was like a movie to me. Raspberry Hill is a trip in this book. And her friend Zora is so annoying. The characters seem so real which makes the book so real and awesome.

My Kind of Read

I debate with folks all the time about the route that BET is taking. Some say that BET is only selling sex, while I say they are only giving what's sent to them. Publishers are doing the same thing. When all they're getting is fiction writers who seem to love erotica more than a storyline, that's what's put out. But then there's the writers who stick to a good script to sell their story. Whether this book was for young adults or not, I believe the writer has a strong enough talent of telling a story so we don't have to read a porno book. In this book, I find myself grinning at the 'love' scenes and I haven't done that in a very long time with fiction. Simple blushing, first kisses, and shyness with dancing are perfect fun and bring back old memories of my childhood. This is the kind of love scene I want to read...the kind that had substance to it. I love scripts about black young people growing up and dealing with their maturing emotions. A young girl named Raspberry has a thieving crackhead as a father, a dreamer as a mother, and enough male role models to give her beliefs in the sanctity of love. Her friends/associates/enemies have their own set of baggage: dealing with being a bi-racial child, unemployment, and friendships being torn by mistrust. I am just crazy about this author and this book. I didn't remember reading another one of her books 'Skin I'm In' but when I saw it was on my recommendation website, I see why. I'm going to read every last one of the books this writer writes!

begging for an encore !!!

i finished this book in 1 and a half days . while i was reading a whole bunch of feelings came through me . like how could raspberry do such a thing to her friend . then sato and raspberry have such a good thing going . momma is strong and has people that love her . you can tell that raspberry cared for her father after he stole from her . this book shows that money can turn you into something bad or con you into doing bad things. i never had a favorite author but now i found one its sharon g. flake . i read the skin im in , money hungry and begging for change . they are all good books . i hope that she writes more books for everyone to enjoy -pre teen reader
