A review by jrosenstein
Money Hungry by Sharon G. Flake

4.0

This has always been popular with my students but I never picked it up until now. Flake's characters all seem very real and her depiction of the toll poverty and homelessness takes on young people is very moving. Some of the events in the story felt a little rushed and the ending left very little resolved. However, I like that Flake doesn't try to wrap everything up neatly but leaves a great deal of ambiguity about her characters' futures.
