Who hasn’t had daydreams about all the things one could do with endless amounts of money? Lizzie is no exception.

When she’s left in charge of Oldman’s Antiques while her grandpa sleeps on an antique setee, a strange customer flits in and offers to make Lizzie’s wildest dreams come true. This customer is determined to take home the one thing in the store she wants above everything else, and in exchange, Lizzie can have tons of cash. A great deal…if only the customer didn’t want Lizzie’s very own grandpa!

Now, as the customer haggles, Lizzie must decide between her dream treehouse and the man who would’ve have helped her lovingly build it.

What to do, what to do.

My favorite character is the domineering Mrs. Larchmont with her puffy pink poodle.

The illustrations (graphite & digital pencil, watercolor, and chalk) are a wonderful blend of muted gray and bursts of color that engage the eye. Every page tells a brilliant story, independent of the text, while the text marches on with dancing dialogue and Lizzie’s humorous daydreams.

The face-off between the characters is priceless, and the end will have young readers cheering. This is such a fun story, it’s definitely one to keep around for re-reading.
