(2) YA Rico--high school senior, part-time convenience-store clerk, and her nine-year-old brother's full-time caregiver--convinces herself that the winning ticket for a high-stakes lottery was purchased by an elderly woman on Christmas Eve. With the help of a wealthy, popular classmate, Rico devises a plan to find the woman--and hopefully be rewarded for her efforts. By turns romantic, funny, and surprising, the story explores how class, status, and money--or lack thereof--affects our opportunities, our choices, and our universal need for love and connection.
