-Titulo Original : Birdies Billions-Fabricante : Bloomsbury Childrens Books-Descripcion Original: A savvy young girl finds half a million dollars and wonders if she can keep it in this charming middle grade mystery that asks big questions about right, wrong, and what youd do for family.For as long as eleven-year-old Birdie can remember, its always been just her and her mom, which means theres not a lot of extra money to spend on things like new clothes and batons from the fancy gymnastics store. Still, they always find a way to make ends meet. Then Birdie makes one silly mistake that has a big consequence: Mom loses her job. Now things are more dire than ever, and Birdie knows its up to her to fix it. When Birdie discovers a huge stash of cash in an abandoned house, she just knows it must be the answer to their problems. But the people who left that money behind arent willing to give it up so easily. Does “finders, keepers” count when its half a million dollars?In this heartfelt small-town story from beloved author Edith Cohn, Birdie learns how to balance whats right for her family-and herself-with whats the right thing to do. From School Library Journal Gr 3-7-Birdie moves to Valley Lake so her mother can get high-paying work and Birdie can go to a good school, yet she is not rolling in cash like many of her posh sixth-grade schoolmates. Then Birdie discovers a treasure trove of money in an abandoned house, and their whole lives change. Birdie is excited theyve struck it rich, and her mother will never have to work again-now all she has to do is convince her mother to take the cash. Matters go from bad to worse when her friend Haileys mother starts spreading rumors that Birdie is a thief. Birdies lies grow as she tries to cover up where she found the money. The main character is well developed, and readers will relate to Birdies angst at being poor and the challenge of always telling the truth. They will relate to how fragile friendships can be, how being a good friend can mean making tough choices, and how people can judge you before they get to know you. Haileys mother is well written, cruel and insistent on only her views and judging people harshly. Mom and Birdies relationship is open and at times feels a bit idyllic. The recurrent themes of not judging a person and always telling the truth can be a little heavy-handed at times, and the story wraps up too conveniently, with everything coming together for the good of all in the end. Fans of Christopher Paul Curtiss Mr. Chickees Funny Money or Eleanor Estess The Hundred Dresses may enjoy this title.
