In the Money - Tapa blanda

The Tiernan family is in the money: a flash new car, a huge new house, expensive computer games for Paul, and a pony for his sister, Shell. But Mum and Dad haven't said exactly where all the money came from. And it's only when Paul meets strange Sarah-Louise that events become clearer. For ages 10+.
