Thirteen-year-old Raspberry Hill is starved for money. She will do just about anything legal to get her hands on the almighty dollar--wash cars, sell rotten candy, skip lunch, clean houses. She is obsessed. She is driven. She is afraid. Memories of being homeless, sleeping in the streets, and eating handouts keep Raspberry's eye on the only prize that matters to her: cold, hard cash. When the green stuff greases her palm, she gets comfort from feeling its crinkly paper power. And, when money is your best friend, there's more to do than hold it. Raspberry kisses her cash. She smells it. She loves it. But even money can't answer the questions that keep Raspberry awake at night. Will she and Momma ever move out of the projects? What did Ja'nae do with the two hundred bucks Raspberry loaned her? And what's really going on with Momma and that rich doctor? A haunting story of greed and forgiveness by the award-winning author of The Skin I'm In, this unforgettable novel will keep you glued to every page. Bank on it. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

The message in Money Hungry by Sharon G. Flake has a lot to do with life, and I would recommend this book to teenagers and to who ever love to read. The story tells about four girls that have problems with money either they don't have it or they try to fine a way to make. So the people at there school consider them to be money hungry. A girl, Raspberry, whose mother and she have been kicked out, and were staying in the city dump. Soon the girl's mother found a job, and then they bought an apartment. That little part in the story was probably telling about someone the author new that was staying somewhere and were kicked out there house. Then, it goes on to tell how the girl hated to be without money. She felt that if she didn't have money or enough to pay for what ever they owe that they would be put back out on the street. The story had some weakness were the author stats to include too many details that don't really have anything to add to the theme of the story. The girls would be in a particular area and the author would start to explain how the area looks like or what a person would be wearing. There ate also times in the story where she starts to tell about the other girl's problems. Over all, that would be most of the weakness in the story. Then you have your strengths. Flake found a good way of combining every body's situation to the main characters. In one of the chapters the main character is accused of steeling money from one of her friends. So the parent of that friend called the mother of the main character and took that she was steeling. The girl's mother was so shocked she began to throw all the money the girl made out the window.
