Lily Holts doesn't know what to think when a beautifully decorated letter arrives in the mail. All it said was to be at Hawthorne House on the 15th of June at 10:30 am for the opportunity of a lifetime.

So at 10:30 am on June 15th she got her answer. When Avery Grams held up the invitation on the news, she knew what was at stake. Thousands of dollars that could change her life forever if she just won.

Too bad that there was riddle, upon puzzle, annoying competitors, and a charming boy that stood in the way.

Starts a little bit before the end of The Final Gambit.

Penny for your thoughts, anyone?
