This was the kind of book I used to love to read when I was a kid. I was always attracted to the characters who figured out ways to make money. The first time I ever earned money doing work for people that weren't my parents was such a thrill. Saving it and being able to buy my own Christmas presents was so cool. So this book was kind of fun to read (I found it at a thrift store). There are some outdated bits to it - she's excited to make $1 an hour, there's an illustration of her standing in front of a wall-mounted rotary phone, and when there's an emergency she calls the hospital for an ambulance instead of 911. Otherwise, there are some students in my 5th grade class who might enjoy it as well.
