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.

From the Inside Flap:

Hailee Richardson has big dreams. They do not include a hand-me-down bike or clothes from the Salvation Army. Even though her best friend, Amanda, lets Hailee have a ride on her new bike, it just isn't the same . . .

The day her dad buys a winning lottery ticket, Hailee can't believe their amazing luck! Now that she is rich, Hailee finally gets that brand-new bike and transfers to a fancy private school. With all her new stuff and new friends, Hailee wants nothing more than to grow up--and away--from her boring old life.

But sometimes big changes happen too fast, especially if it means leaving friends behind. It'll take one very busy social networking page, a stolen first kiss, and a whole carton of eggs for Hailee to realize that nothing is better than an old friend who's just a call away.
