Money Hungry (Coretta Scott King Author Honor Title) (Coretta Scott King Author Honor Books)

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. A haunting story of greed and forgiveness by the award-winning author of The Skin I'm In.
