  1. Raspberry and her mother should talk about her mothers relationship with Zora's father. If her mother doesnt tell her whats going on between them then Raspberry wont talk to her.

  3. Raspberry is an average pre teen who wants and loves money. She sells things to make money at school like pencils and snacks. When she gets caught at school her principal wants her to stop. She is so addicted to money that she doesnt stop. She wants to make so much money because she thinks that if you have money people can do what they want and they cant take stuff from you. Raspberry tries to make money any kindof way she can .

  5. Raspberry's mother talk to Dr. Mitchell. He is the father of her friend Zora. Her mother likes him alot. Raspberry has troubles getting over the fact they talk. If her mother dont tell her whats going on raspberry wont talk to her. She thinks they should talk more about the relationship.

  6. How did living in the streets impact Raspberry? How do Raspberry and Zora react to the relationship between Ms. Hill and Dr. Mitchell? If possible, make a real life connection to having a dating parent?

  7. Raspberry and Zora hate the fact that their parents are talking. Then when Raspberry has to stay the night at Dr.Mitchell's house Her and Zora don't get along. Zora is upset because she doesn't want Raspberry and her mother to stay with them. The next day they finally talk to each other in school. When they do they realize that they are really close friends and they should just get over it.

  8. Raspberry is a little girl who loves money. She loves to collect money not only because she likes it but because at a time in her life she grew up poor on the streets and that made her realize she doesnt want to live that way again. Her mom is dating a guy name Dr.Mitchell and his daughter Zora is a friend of raspberry and they hate the fact their parent talk. They feel as if they need to talk to their parents so that way they will be able to see their kids are close friends and maybe they will realize they should do the same.

  10. Raspberry is not wrong to want money because everybody wants money and needs it. Her situation is different from other people's so for her to want money is normal. Sometimes she does take it to far because she does things she shouldn't do. If she wants money she should try to get a job. When she does little jobs she makes money but she wants so much more. Raspberry just needs to find better ways to make money.

  11. Raspberry is a hard worker. She does all she can to work and make money. Raspberry and her friends help people clean their homes. When they clean her and her friends are so happy to get money. Raspberry is the most serious person when it comes her money.

  12. Raspberry is not wrong for wanting money. I do think she gets a little out of hand by the ways she get her money. but at times you got to think about how she grew up. so for her to want more and more money doesnt make her wrong at all.

  18. i really like this book because raspberry is a very nice girl in her own way she try to make things happen for her and her family, another reason is because she try her best to make her money to keep up what she beleave in. the last reason is because she love her mom enough to give her what she want to give all the money that she work for to make her mom happy.
