On her thirteenth birthday, Summer Haas scratches the lottery ticket that her mother tucks in her birthday card each year and wins ten million dollars. While her family won't struggle for money anymore, becoming instant millionaires poses a new set of problems. The media attention becomes so overwhelming that Summer’s eccentric mother moves the family from their small southern Illinois town to disappear into the Chicago suburbs. Suddenly, Summer finds herself at a new school during her eighth-grade year, a time when she and her best friend, Dana, were hoping to rule the halls and bring home a championship trophy for their softball team.
Determined to find a few new best friends, Summer half-heartedly agrees to become a 'new and improved' version of herself after taking advice from her popular new friend, Suri. But life gets awkward when Summer pretends she's someone other than herself, and every social misstep leads to one more. Can Summer fit in AND stay true to herself?
