Flat Broke by Gary Paulsen

I am going to tell you why you should read Flat Broke by Gary Paulsen. The main character in the story is Kevin.  I really enjoyed reading about him because he is the kind of guy that is always coming up with ideas, but never thinks them through.  The main things that happen in the story are how Kevin tries to get money to impress the girl he likes.  The setting in the story is in modern day and in modern places.  The author’s message in the story is that you shouldn’t take advantage of people.  The mood throughout the story is funny.  I made a text to text connection to the first book in the series Liar, Liar. They are similar so if you like the first book you will love this one.  I highly recommend this to anyone who likes a funny, entertaining, realistic fiction book.
