A funny friendship story for 8-12-year-olds, pitched as a contemporary Blank Check meets Millionaires for the Month, by three best-selling and award-winning authors.
When money literally falls from the sky after an armored truck crash, three seventh grade witnesses are brought together by their struggle to do the right thing.
Mariah, Emilio, and Cat are all normal seventh graders—even if it doesn't feel like that when all their classmates can afford lavish spring break trips and they can't.
But when an armored truck crashes and the money flies out, all of them seize the chance to change their lives. Emilio wants to put the cash he grabbed toward a video game summer camp with his friends. Mariah wants to impress her sister with a generous donation. And Cat wants to write an award-winning article exposing the cause of the accident.
Brought together by the crash, Mariah, Emilio, and Cat no longer have to spend spring break alone. But as the consequences of the crash start to become real, all three of them have a different idea of what it means to do the right thing. Can their brand-new friendship survive the disagreement?
