Eleven-year-old Annabelle and her friends try several schemes to raise money for a concert; meanwhile, Rachel constantly makes snide remarks about Annabelle's recent move to a wealthier neighborhood. The mostly light and funny story addresses wealth inequality honestly, and readers new to the series (Boys Are Dogs; Girls Acting Catty; etc.) should easily catch on to the characters' personalities.
