Cassie is the middle child in a big family without a lot of money, but she does have her best friend. Vali is the only person Cassie's told about the sweepstakes paper that came in the mail, telling her that she's already won a prize. But which to choose? A car or new furniture, either of which her family could use? A vacation for her and Vali? But Vali's been distant lately, spending time with a new friend who doesn't treat Cassie well. Cassie can barely get her mom's attention and her sister just tells her that the sweepstakes isn't real. Cassie wants is to fix everything--even if it's just a dream.
This is so relatable--the ways relationships change, the hurt of being left out of things, the attempts to fit in, and even the belief that those sweepstakes fliers are genuine. Cassie is learning a lot of difficult lessons all at once , in ways that upper-elementary and lower-middle school students can really use.
