Birdie's Billions by Edith CohnCall Number: JF Coh
"Skateboarder Birdie lives with her single mother in fancy Valley Lake, where they moved so her mom could make more money. But soon after Birdie inadvertently causes her mom to get fired, jeopardizing their ability to pay rent, and an incident sees the wealthy mother of Birdie’s best friend forbidding the relationship, citing Birdie as a “bad influence.” It doesn’t help that Birdie feels she has to keep secrets about her situation, including her mom’s need for work and her father’s incarceration. All Birdie wants is to not have to worry about finances, so when she follows a cat into an abandoned house and finds $500,000 in a wall, she devises a way to post some to her mom."
