Lawn Boy (Paulsen, Gary, 2007, 88 p. ISBN 9780385909235)
Masterful Paulsen describes a small-time plan for a 12-year-old boy to earn enough money to buy a bike tire—by mowing lawns with a newly-inherited riding mower—quickly grows into a windfall and a lesson in money management. This short, funny story is appealing to a wide range of readers, but its length makes it particularly good for reluctant readers.
