The second in a funny illustrated middle grade series about a Panamanian American girl who hatches a plot to get rich quick—as long as her sister doesn’t in the way—from NYT bestselling author Veronica Chambers.
Exuberant and larger-than-life Flora Violeta LeFevre has a plan—a plan to become a millionaire in the new year. She’s already collecting her birthday money and her mom’s swear jar so when the school announces a kids’ entrepreneurship conference, Flora’s excited to learn all the tricks to becoming rich.
But she can’t open an animal hospital without a medical degree . . . and she can’t think of anything to invent and her sister keeps stealing the spotlight from her. As Flora brainstorms the perfect business, a hot idea during a cold day is just the thing she needs to make her dreams come true.
