(2) YA Ninth grader Jacki approaches life with a glass-half-full attitude--even when recession hits her California town. This serves her well when her family must downgrade its lifestyle. As Jacki daydreams about giving her sister a prom dress and finding her mom a job, admirers will be captivated by her clumsy charm and the realization that a little optimism goes a long way.
