All he needs is the right hammer to crack it open. Candy and gum? Little toys? Sure, kids would love to buy stuff like that at school. But would teachers and the principal permit it? Not likely.But how about comic books? Comic books might work. Especially the chunky little ones that Greg writes and illustrates himself.
