內容簡介
內容簡介 說白了,桂格天生就知道怎麼賺錢。但他有個相當煩人的鄰居莫拉,而且還是生意上的競爭對手…早在唸六年級之前,桂格就發現到,每個小孩每天都會領到二毛五或五毛錢的零用錢。對桂格來說,學校就變成了賺錢的好地方。他只要想著怎麼讓這些學生將零用錢拿出來?是要賣糖果還是口香糖呢?還是說賣小玩具?學校裡的小朋友當然會開開心心地買這些小東西,但是老師和校長會放任桂格不管嗎?當然不可能。< p>那…如果是漫畫呢?賣漫畫或許行得通。尤其是桂格自畫自銷的漫畫。每個學生都知道,學校是相當鼓勵閱讀、寫作與激發創意的,這總沒說錯吧?< p>本書很成功地將社會看法與認知,透過學校生活的描寫反映出來,期許青少年讀者可以從中思考關於金錢、學校與友誼的問題,並重新審視所謂『成功』的定義。
