Review of Money Hungry
I never thought I can be so interested in a book, especially not a book like this one. I mean, the only books I really am attached to and actually read are suspenseful, scary books, but this one was so different. I love a book with accurate detail and with a fantastic conflict and when I began reading "Money Hungary" I was surprised how the conflict already starts in the beginning of the book. This is a book that you can never find and a book that is so hard to stop reading. It captivated me through out the book and help me visualize,in detail, what was always going on. Every other book is usually an OK for me, but this book was more then OK, it was great!
The author named Sharon G Flake created an amazing inspirational book called Money Hungary
in where the main character Raspberry and her mother are in a situation that can change their whole life. What she doesn't know is that her choices and her greed will bring her to unexpected surprises during her journey in forgetting a time in her life that has marked her for a long time.
Raspberry is a thirteen year old girl with a haunting past who lives with her mother in a neighborhood that can effect their life drastically. Raspberry is a normal teenager, looks like a normal teenager and attends school like a normal teenager, but what no one knows is that she makes a living out of selling pencils, rotten candy, cleaning houses and washing cars. Her life might look like its normal, but in reality she has many economical problems and a nightmare that keeps scaring her, to the point of loving and enjoying the smell of money.
Through out the book she struggles to survive and show her friends that she really is normal. She notices that maybe her friends aren't really who she thought they were. After the back stabbing , the fights and the lieing to each other, they still stay close. Together they work hard to get money and repay the money they owe, but notice that the elderly don't pay what they say. This causing more friendship break ups and much more surprises.
Not only does money create friendship problems and family problems, but the actions of Raspberries has changed incredibly, finding it difficult for her to be trusted. Jainae' has been hiding some thing form her grandfather, but the secret will be let out, after she receives a visit, in where she has been waiting for a long time.

Will her mothers romance impact not only Raspberries future, but the risk of losing one of her best friends, because of the certain connection between her and Dr. Mitchell?
This is a fantastic book that teaches every one an important lesson. Excepting and being proud of what you have now because many other people have nothing. Its a story that can make you cry and really think about it. Thats why I really enjoyed this book and I know you will too.
