(4) 4-6 When middle schooler Hailee's family wins the lottery, she's disappointed that their lifestyle doesn't become as lavish as she expects. But enrolling at a prestigious private school does change Hailee, to her friends' dismay. A strong voice and a fun-to-imagine premise complement explorations of class striations, but simplistic distillation of characters as merely "nice" or "mean" detracts from the novel's strengths.
