This book was about a girl named Franny. Her family wasn't rich nor poor but her father couldn't get a job. She feels like she is losing her best friend to wealthy Lila Wembleton. In the end, her father gets a job and Franny gets her friend back. She also makes a new friend, too.
I thought it was good. It was dramatic, sad, happy, and in all a wonderful book.

A girl named Franny has a dad who can't find a job. She also has a friend who thinks a girl named Lila is rich. Her brother's birthday is coming up, so she makes him a present. His name is Marshall and he has a small birthday party on his birthday. Even though Franny has friend problems, she soon is able to make up with them and her dad finds a great job he likes.
I thought it was a great book. It had a touch of sadness in it and joyful through the whole book.
