Although they're best friends, thirteen-year-old Tori sometimes feels she's more responsible than her fun-loving, financially irresponsible mother. When Great-aunt Muriel's will sets up an inheritance contest, Tori sees the answer to their troubles. The "test of wit and will" involves surviving two weeks as though in colonial times. This lighthearted, amusing novel provides some easily digested history lessons.
