Bookroo's summary

Twelve-year-old Olivia Hales dreams of escaping Sunny Pines Trailer Park with her sister, Berkeley. Her plan? Win a million dollars. But between fixing swamp coolers, writing to an absent dad, and entering sweepstakes, Olivia juggles adult responsibilities. As she petitions neighbors for a circus and spies to impress a friend, Olivia wonders who will care for her. Can unexpected allies help her find hope and family where she least expects it?

From the publisher

Twelve-year-old Olivia Hales has a foolproof plan for winning a million dollars so that she and her little sister, Berkeley, can leave behind Sunny Pines Trailer Park. But first she has to: · Fix the swamp cooler and make dinner and put Berkeley to bed because her mom is too busy to do all that · Write another letter to her dad even though he hasn’t written back yet · Teach Berk the important stuff, like how to make chalk drawings, because they can’t afford day care and Olivia has to stay home from school to watch her · Petition her oddball neighbors for a circus spectacular, because there needs to be something to look forward to at dumb-bum Sunny Pines · Become a super-secret spy to impress her new friend Bart · Enter a minimum of fourteen sweepstakes a day. Who knows? She may already be a winner!
