The Treasure of Lemon Brown

Greg Ridley, a failing student in what the subject is known as math. His dad pushes him to try to do better so he won't fail the grade. After school he then decides to take a walk and go into a abandoned building. As he walking he see people but just continues to walk. He enters a room and he hears what appear to be a male yet Greg doesn't have sight in him. Then he appears and the man is wearing rags but proudly says his name, "Lemon Brown." They continue to talk when suddenly they hear other voices talking about Mr. Brown. Mr. Brown recognizes them as thugs that always go after him and both Greg and Mr. Brown hide. As the thugs try to look for the treasure of Lemon Brown, they search everywhere for him and Lemon Brown tries to scare them off until finally they left. Lemon Brown then tells Greg to go on home but to wait until the thugs leave. When Greg gets home, he rings the door bell and smiles knowing the lecture his dad is going to give him.

My reactions towards this book wasn't anything big but just WOW. A well known artist to be homeless? That left me surprised. I mean I kinda can already imagine that because many people were famous and lost all their money and are left with nothing or even just a little bit of it. Greg? Oh yeah him. In the beginning of the book he really didn't care about what anyone said about him. After meeting Lemon Brown, it all changed.I truly believe that Lemon Brown flipped a switch in Greg's mind.
