Ginger is on a mission to find her family's missing fortune in
glamorous Hollywood in this M!X novel from the author of Lost in
London, Lost in Paris, Lost in Rome, and Lost in Ireland
(formerly titled Lucky Me).
Thirteen-year-old Ginger Carlson feels like she is the only normal one
in her family. Her father is an inventor who sells his gadgets online,
Mom is obsessed with classic movies, and her brother Grant thinks he is
from outer space. Luckily, Ginger has a totally normal BFF, Payton, and
they have big plans for the future--they plan to become doctors and open
a practice together in a big city. But first, they're partnering on the
state Science Olympics where they're sure to take home the gold for
their eighth grade class with their model of the brain.
The Olympics training is interrupted when the Carlson family gets an
urgent call that their eccentric Aunt Betty, a former actress who lives
in Hollywood, is in serious trouble. The bank is going to take her house
unless she can give them the money she owes. The Carlsons head to LA to
sort things out for Aunt Betty, along with Payton, who tags along for
the West Coast adventure.
In a moment alone with the girls, Aunt Betty tells them what's really
going on. Because she didn't trust banks, Aunt Betty stashed her money
in a secret hiding place. Only problem--it's so secret, she can't
remember where that hiding place is! That's what she's been doing all
around town--looking for her fortune. Can Ginger and Payton help find
the money--and give Aunt Betty the Hollywood ending that she deserves?
