Description

For fans of Ali Benjamin’s The Thing About Jellyfish and Katherine Applegate’s Crenshaw comes the humorous and heart aching story of one girl’s struggle to keep hope alive for her and her younger sister in Sunny Pines Trailer Park.

Twelve-year-old Olivia Hales has a foolproof plan for winning a million dollars so that she and her little sister, Berkeley, can leave in the back of Sunny Pines Trailer Park.

But first she has to:
·  Fix the swamp cooler and make dinner and put Berkeley to bed because her mom is too busy to do all that
·  Write another letter to her dad despite the fact that he hasn’t written back yet
·  Teach Berk the important stuff, like how to make chalk drawings, because they are able to’t manage to pay for day care and Olivia has to stay home from school to watch her
·  Petition her oddball neighbors for a circus spectacular, because there must be something to look forward to at dumb-bum Sunny Pines
·  Change into a super-secret spy to impress her new friend Bart
·  Enter at least fourteen sweepstakes a day. Who knows? She may already be a winner!

Olivia has thought of everything . . . aside from herself. Who will maintain her when she needs it? Luckily, somewhere deep down between her small intestine and stomach is a tiny voice reminding her that infrequently people can surprise you—and infrequently your family is right next door.
