The narrator’s business expands until it’s too large for him to handle, but a local stockbroker offers to pay for lawn care by investing the narrator’s earnings and then suggests that the high demand for lawn care be handled by hiring more workers.
Are Lawn Boy and Toro the same?

Who is the author of the book Lawn Boy?
Lawn Boy by author Gary Paulsen is a short young readers book about a boy…who mows lawns. I normally like Gary Paulsen, but I think he whiffed on this one.
When to read Lawn Boy by Gary Paulsen?
Recommends it for: 4th grade and up; economics teachers Shelves: math-concepts, humor, kids-fiction Lawn Boy is a super-fast read (about an hour, total) with more action, character development, and snickers packed into its spare little 88 pages than about a hundred fatter novels I could rattle off.
What kind of books does Gary Paulsen write?
His novels very generally fit into two categories: contemplative studies of life, often set in nature (Dogsong, Hatchet, The Island) and zany comedies that test the limits of believability (Masters of Disaster, How Angel Peterson Got His Name, Mudshark), and Lawn Boy belongs to the latter category.
Is the book Lawn Boy a Parental Advisory?
Simply put, this book deserves to come with a parental advisory warning. The overall topic is fine but the storyline is marred with controversy. First off, the boy hires 15 illegal Hispanic workers who all live in a single shack-like house and pack 4/5 deep into pick up trucks to go to their landscape jobs.
