The story: Money is a big deal in Maddie's family--or rather, the lack of it is. She's pretty sure she'll get accepted into Stanford, but how will she ever pay for it? Then, on a whim, she buys a lottery ticket and is suddenly thirty million dollars richer. All her problems should be solved, right? But people she knows start acting strange, and other people she doesn't even know start asking her for money. Only Seth, her co-worker (and crush) at the zoo, doesn't seem to have heard the news, and he's the only one acting normal anymore. If she tells him, will it change...and ruin... everything?

Liz's comments: Kasie West is a reliable writer of clean YA romance. Even though her heroines tend to be seniors in high school, the stories can be handed to MS kids with confidence, and that's something I really appreciate. Although this may not be her best story, it's still worth having in the library, and still worth handing over to her fans right away.
