YASideStreets series.
Hardworking high schooler Avvy finds a wallet containing a cash card. In desperation, she uses the money to help her Chinese immigrant parents' struggling restaurant. In doing so, she quickly realizes how easy it can be to cross the honesty line. The story, including several subplots, is entirely predictable, but the tale's details are engaging.
