The Broke Kids Club
|
In the small, run-down town of Glenwood, twelve-year-old Riley feels invisible—trapped between a broken home and a forgotten community. The park is overgrown, the playground is falling apart, and the people in town seem as stuck as the cracked sidewalks beneath their feet. But when Riley meets Maria, an unstoppable girl with big ideas and an even bigger heart, everything changes.
Maria convinces Riley to join her newly formed "Broke Kids Club," a group dedicated to fixing what's broken—starting with the park. Armed with nothing but rusty tools, duct tape, and a lot of determination, the club slowly transforms the park and themselves, one swing and flowerbed at a time. Along the way, they recruit a hilarious jokester named Devon, a shy but resourceful kid named Sam, and a hard-working neighbor named Benny. Together, they learn that being "broke" doesn't mean being powerless.
What begins as a small project to clean up their community grows into something much bigger. The kids mow lawns, paint fences, and even start a community garden with the help of neighbors who see their determination and pitch in. They work through conflicts, setbacks, and exhaustion, discovering that teamwork, persistence, and a little kindness can go a long way.
But success isn't easy. The club struggles to keep up with their growing responsibilities while balancing their own lives. As new challenges arise, like preparing for harvest season and getting ready to return to school, the kids begin to wonder if they've taken on too much. When they decide to grow watermelons and pumpkins for the county fair, the stakes get even higher—but so does their belief in what's possible.
The Broke Kids Club isn't just fixing things—it's building something new: hope, unity, and the power of small hands to make a big difference.
Full of humor, heart, and lessons in resilience, The Broke Kids Club is a story about the magic that happens when kids come together to take on challenges bigger than themselves. It's about turning adversity into opportunity and showing that even the least among us can create ripples of change. With unforgettable characters, moments of laughter and tears, and a message of hope, this middle-grade series is perfect for readers who believe that kindness and community can change the world.
