About the author

Stephen Manes (born 1949) wrote the "Digital Tools" column that appeared in every issue of Forbes until recently when he took a break. He is expected to return in the future. He is also co-host and co-executive editor of the public television series "PC World's Digital Duo," a program he helped create.

Manes was previously the Personal Computers columnist for the Science Times section of The New York Times and a regular columnist for InformationWeek. He has been on the technology beat since 1982 as a columnist and contributing editor for PC Magazine, PC/Computing, PC Sources, PCjr, and Netguide. The now defunct Marketing Computers named him one of the four most influential writers about the computer industry and called him "a strong critical voice."

From April 1995 to December 2008, he also wrote the "Full Disclosure" column, anchoring the back page of PC World.

Manes is coauthor of the best-selling and definitive biography Gates: How Microsoft's Mogul Reinvented an Industry--and Made Himself the Richest Man in America. He also wrote The Complete MCI Mail Handbook and programmed much of the Starfixer and UnderGround WordStar software packages.

Manes is also the author of more than 30 books for children and young adults, including the Publishers Weekly bestseller Make Four Million Dollars by Next Thursday! and the award-winning Be a Perfect Person in Just Three Days!, which was adapted for the public television series Wonderworks. His books include the cult favorites Chicken Trek and The Obnoxious Jerks and have won a commendation from the National Science Foundation, International Reading Association Children's Choice awards, and kid-voted awards in five states. His writing credits also include television programs produced by ABC Television and KCET/Los Angeles and the 70s classic 20th Century-Fox movie Mother, Jugs & Speed.

Manes is currently serving his fourth term as an elected member of the National Council of the Authors Guild, the country's oldest organization of book authors. Born and raised in the hills of Pittsburgh, he now lives in hillier Seattle.

Reviews

[Cheryl · Rating 3 out of 5]

In the worldly state of children's coming-of-age "shock" literature, this sweet chapter book is a refreshingly humorous tale with a little life message tacked on. Corny as Kansas, Make Four Million $, will not overwhelm you with its literary genius, but is guaranteed to evoke in a toothy grin. You can go to the bank on that one!

[6miller_rainevan miller · Rating 4 out of 5]

I read "make four million dollar$ by next thur$day" by Stephen Manes its about a boy that wishes to grow up to be a millionaire and be rich and he lost his money one day and followed his trails with a medal detector and finds this book and just follows the steps on how to make all this money. Over all i think it is a good book I would rate it 4.5 out of 5. And i recommend it if you like mystery ir comedy

This book is a follow-up to Stephen Manes book Be a Perfect Person in Three Days. I liked the first book, but not this one so much. I felt like it was a sequel movie that fell flat after reasonable success on the first one. It was okay, but not too exciting.

The book was about a kid named Jason and he found a book about how to get four million dollars. I like this book because it is tricking the boy to do some weird things. I would recommend this book to a person that loves money.

This was such a funny and cute story. Get it for your kids, your friends, your parents, your grandparents. Anyone would enjoy the humor and moral.

So bad it's good, at best. 2.5 stars, which I'm rounding down to two.

Found this lying around the house and whipped through it in about 45 minutes. I wasn't too impressed -- pretty silly. Young kids might like it.
