📖Recommend for Grades 8 and up📖
by Nic Stone
When Rico learns that a winning lotto ticket was sold at the Gas' n' Go where she works, she realizes she must have sold the winning ticket. She thinks this means that her luck is finally changing; she has to track down the winner first. Her popular and wealthy classmate Zan gets involved in helping her on her mission. Now, as the world of the haves and have-nots collide, this investigation gets interesting.
A delightful read that even reluctant readers will enjoy. Rico and Zan are both intriguing characters, and the dynamic between them is entertaining. They are both also mixed race but come from different financial backgrounds. The story is told from Rico's point of view. Still, there are interruptions between specific chapters of the winning ticket's story. It may sound weird but makes sense in the content of the book. Romance does play a part in their story, but readers shouldn't let that prohibit them from picking this book up.
