Lila Fowler has always been filthy rich. So when she overhears her father say he's lost a fortune, she panics. Can she face the world without money? Her friends begin to suspect that something is wrong when Lila starts packing brown-bag lunches, walking to school, and even passing up trips to the mall. But Lila's afrais to tell them what's happened. Without money, she doesn't feel special anymore.
Finally, with a little help from Melissa McCormick and Elizabeth Wakefield, Lila learns that there really are more important things than money. But will her friends in the Unicorn CLub agree? How will they react to a poor Lila Fowler?

"You're going to have to start walking to school now, like the rest of your friends," Mrs. Pervis said. "It will do you good, though. Put some color in your cheeks."
"I can't walk to school, Mrs. Pervis!" Lila cried. "It's way too far."
"Rubbish!" Mrs. Pervis said with a laugh. "It won't take fifteen minutes."
"But Daddy will get a new chauffeur soon, won't he?" Lila asked anxiously.
Mrs. Pervis gave Lila her get-out-of-the-kitchen look. "Your father has a lot on his mind right now, Lila. I don't want you bothering him over this chauffeur business, understand?"
Lila nodded uneasily. She was beginning to have a very bad feeling about things. First, her credit card had been refused. And now Randall had been fired. Was it possible her father was in some kind of financial trouble?
No, Lila told herself. It was probably all just coincidence. Her father was rich, after all. Really rich. He couldn't just lose all that money overnight.
Could he?
