Bookroo's summary

Twins Rock and Brock couldn't be more different in their approach to money. When their grandfather offers a deal—earn a dollar a week for chores, with every saved dollar matched—each boy's financial philosophy is put to the test. Will Rock's spending habits or Brock's saving instincts prevail? As the summer unfolds, the twins learn valuable lessons about money management, but the real question is: who will come out on top in this family challenge?

From the publisher

Gramps teaches his twin grandsons the value of saving money when he pays each a dollar a week to help with summer chores, then matches every dollar each boy saves.
