Jackie is a middle school girl with a best friend, cool big sister and slightly annoying brother. Things are going great until her mom loses her high paying job. Now Jackie and her family have to deal with what it means to cut back, and live a less extravagant life. I liked the book because it had a sense of humor and was realistic. It’s not the greatest book I’ve ever read but it would be a good choice for a tween who doesn’t understand what’s going on in tough economic times. It explains very basically why the economy is bad, and how it’s effecting people without becoming political. The most important things in the book are friends and family, but it doesn’t sugarcoat what happens when a parent loses a job.
