(W) Shannon Hale (A) Lark Pien, Marcela Cespedes. Something is missing from Cassie's life. Her parents don't have much money* she has to share her bedroom (and bed!) with her sisters* and her family never seem to have time for her. To make matters worse* her best friend Vali is always busy with a new friend. When Cassie gets a letter from a magazine sweepstakes with the words "YOU'RE THE WINNER" stamped on the front* she thinks it's the answer to all her problems. She could buy new furniture to replace their shabby old sofa. Or maybe a car so her family doesn't have to take two trips to go places. Or maybe she can make Vali her best friend forever by taking her on a fabulous vacation. The possibilities are endless* like an all-you-can-eat buffet! But will prizes really solve Cassie's problems? And what will she lose if she doesn't win anything at all?
