"Capitalism plus publicity equals monster commerce." Arnold Lawn
Boy Returns Same summer. Second half. All the Lawn Boy needed was an inner tube for his old 10-speed bicycle. What he got was a little old lawn mower that used to belong to his grandfather. Remember how it helped him to get rich in one month? When Lawn Boy Returns, the story picks up where it left off when Arnold, his stock market investment guy, decides to expand the business, adding administrative staff to help expand its reach. Will Pasqual be able to handle an expanded lawn crew? Will Joseph Powermilk be able to handle Bruiser Bulk in the championship fight? Will he be able to handle the crooks who have ulterior motives with the Lawn Boy in mind? The sudden growth puts stress on Lawn Boy and the plumped up business. Will they snap or will they take the new ideas and run? Gary Paulsen again flexes his masterful writing muscles using the basics of free enterprise in this mixture of hilarious comedy and business genius. He creates this relatively short story with an unforgettable message about how a successful business is created, experiences growning pains, and ultimately... well... no spoilers here! The Kids' Wings literature guide invites group discussion, problem solving, research, writing, skill building, authentic writing prompts and a culminating interactive Jeopardy-type game, a great study for economics classes, gifted and talented students, and boys. Teachers who want to bring math, economics, and team building to life in their classrooms will want to make this book and the Kids Wings unit a part of their classroom literature circles. Research
