Hailee Richardson never realized how much she hated her Salvation Army life and Goodwill accessories until the night her family wins the lottery. All of a sudden she's no longer the only girl at school without a cell phone or a brand-new bike! And the newfound popularity that comes with being a lottery winner is just what she's always dreamed of. But the glow of her smartphone and fancy new clothes wears off when Hailee is transferred to Magnolia Academy, a private school. All of a sudden, her best friend and parents seem shabby compared to the beautiful Magnolia moms and the popular bad-girl Nikki, who seems to want to be her friend. Now, Hailee wants nothing more than to grow up-and away-from her old life. It'll take one very busy social networking page, a stolen first kiss, and a whole carton of eggs for Hailee to realize that not all luck is good, not all change is bad, and a best friend who's just a call away will always be more valuable than a phone.

Hailee Richardson's family is poor. They have to buy their clothes from Goodwill and the Salvation Army and Hailee has to have a ratty old bike that gets made fun of. Hailee sometimes gets bothered by this, but not often. After all, she's got an awesome friend who's always by her side! But then something terrific happens to her family. They win the lottery! It's like someone opened a new door to Hailee's life. She now has a brand new bike, a new phone, and...goes to a fancy academy? Hailee's best friend now seems not too cool compared to her new fancy school, and when Nikki- a bad girl- wants to be her friend, Hailee's life is still changing. Pranks, kisses, and a fallen friendship are all in this book, making you turn the page, curious of what is going to happen next. Happy reading!
