This book is about how the government messed up the US economy back in 2008.  As the economy crash began, people began losing their houses and jobs.  Banks were collecting money from the people who needed the money more.  Families were suffering for unjust reasons.  Today, people are still affected from the results.    Reading this book will help you learn how much the US was affected by the 2008 economy crash.

Opinion: 

I think this book was very nice.  It shows how somebody’s greed can and does affect a nation. The stories from different kids’ points of view were enjoyable.  I liked them because it’s easier to relate to something that someone your age has gone through.  The information that I read in this book has helped me understand many different topics that I haven’t even thought about before.  I like the bright color on the cover.  It seemed to be made to attract attention.  It certainly attracted mine!  I think this book is great for teens that have heard about the 2008 economy crash and want to learn more as well as those who haven’t.  I recommend this book for people 12+.
