"It's the first day of summer, and Emma, "Sideline" Rockland, the poorest fifth grader in economically depressed Elyria Heights, Ohio, is hungry. With her petty-criminal parents nowhere to be found, Emma "Sideline" borrows $3.67 from Big Steve, the local grocer, and begins a business career that will make her the richest sixth grader in town by the fall."--Amazon.com.
