Just as his comics are getting popular, Greg discovers that Maura is selling her own minicomics. When he tells her she is just a copycat, she sells beautiful home-made potholders door-to-door and makes more money than Greg. When he sells lemonade in the summer, she does, too. She loves to copy what he does, to his continued annoyance. At school, he quickly sells hundreds of copies.Įver since he was a small child, Greg has had a tense competition with Maura, the girl across the street. The minicomics tell the adventures of a caveman, Creon. During the summer before sixth grade, he designs, draws, and prints short comic books to sell in the fall. In fifth grade, Greg sells toys to the other students, but the principal tells him to stop. Before long, he is raking the neighbors’ leaves, shoveling snow off their lawn, and cleaning up garages. As a child, he does his brothers’ chores for small change. Greg Kenton excels at almost everything, but he is especially good at making money.
