SURVIVOR COLONIAL STYLE
Tori and her mother are in deep financial trouble. Along comes a chance for them to win big and save the dress shop, but they have to compete with all the extended members of their family and live on their dead aunt's estate in "colonial style". That means no modern conveniences; make the food, no daily baths, and make the furniture. The family who performs best will win it all, millions and millions of it.
Tori wants to win and be serious about the contest, but can her flakey mom pull it together? Add to all this stress Tori is seriously crushing on the local boy whose father thinks she's a witch and another member of her family sabotaging their efforts.
It's a fun survivor, reality television show, and boy meets girl story all rolled together in Colonial Madness by Jo Whittemore.
For readers in 6th-8th grades.
