Overview

"Here Matthew spends the summer before he enters seventh grade trying to earn enough money to buy a much-coveted computer program... As always, Danziger uses her likable characters to teach readers a valuable lesson or two. Her vibrant, present-tense narrative, characteristically overflowing with puns, jibes and jokes, once again demonstrates that this talented author knows what makes kids tick—and what makes them laugh." —Publishers Weekly.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly - Publisher's 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. (May)
Children's Literature - Dr. Judy Rowen
Matthew Martin desperately wants a new computer program, but the price tag gives his parents pause. Most of his ideas for earning the money are hare-brained, but when he teams up with his friends they hit upon a winning solution. Matthew has his first girlfriend, which adds some poignancy to the tale as well. Full of puns and gross-out humor, the book is a quick, fun read.
School Library Journal
Gr 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, KY
