Yasmine can't get back her mother, her house, or her friends. But there's one thing she must get back&#8213;the jacket. It's worth a million dollars if she can find it in time. Along the way Yasmine has to break some rules, and she'll soon have to pay the price. But during her desperate search, Yasmine discovers a different kind of treasure. She learns about her family's history, the sacrifices of the people who came before her, and the true value of what she still has. Yasmine and the Million Dollar Jacket is a story designed to engage young readers while giving them a lesson in what it means to be an African-American girl on the verge of the teen years.

Thirteen-year old Tess has never been able to compete with her “perfect” older sister, but now she must—if she wants to inherit her grandmother’s priceless tiara. The two girls have been invited to their grandparent’s lake house for the summer to help take care of Grandma who’s been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. The sister who earns the most “helpful points” wins the former beauty queen’s crown. It’s not easy for Tess, who seems to always get things wrong despite best intentions. But when a secretive family moves in nearby and Grandma disappears, Tess learns a lesson about prejudice, fear, and the real value of doing good —- a lesson that may be worth even more than the tiara.
