A school for children with VERY rich parents.
Nikolikuylika (known to her friends as Nikki) Roberts is a fairly normal girl with a very abnormal name. Except for the fact that her father is one of the richest men in the country. She and her brother, Shaddokabree, (known as Bree) are relaxing over the summer break, living it up, partying, and without a care in the world.
Until their mother showed up.
Their mother (who'd been absent for five years on a business trip) doesn't approve of Nikki and Bree's tutor, MacKenzie Welsh, and so they are enrolled in the most enhancing, most superior, most expensive school in America, Torwell Academy, known to everybody who didn't attend as "Billionaire Academy."
Nikki and Bree soon find friends, some of which include Jasmine Jades, a punk-looking girl who is actually quite nice, Jason and Grey Viernitraz, two quiet, older boys who're friends of Bree's, Alex and Owen Aisles, who are wilder than expected, and Nora Capora, who is quiet, sullen, but has a wonderful smile.
Soon, Jasmine, Jason, Grey, Alex, Owen, and Nora are over the house almost as often as Nikki and Bree themselves! What does their mother think of this school now that it's preppy, wild students are invading her home, refridgerator, and time?

Ricky's Story
Ricky Kingston (who is REAL, as a matter of fact) wants a better life. Better brothers, better friends, better looks, better everything. He's nobody, too short, and unimportant. His friend Joey-Joe is (his only friend) fifteen years old and a grade below him. His older brother Corey (known by everyone as Treasure) is perfect in every way. He's got too many brothers and sisters, not enough friends, and his only consonance is his computer, where he spends most of his time.
But Ricky stumbles upon his chance: instant popularity, the pretty new girl, and something that makes him cooler than his older brother. What's the big thing?
Ricky throws a CRAZY party, invites everyone in his grade via Facebook, and plans it with the help of Joey-Joe, Cassidy, a family friend who's gotten in her share of trouble, and even Joe's older sister, Tracy, the party expert.
But when Ricky is as famous as birthday cake, how can he keep his brother and FATHER from knowing about the party, as well as everything that comes with it?
Maybe being popular is harder then it looks...maybe his brother's life isn't perfect...maybe his twin sister Rita was right...secrets are harder to keep then friends.

We are Three
Cody, Rhino, and Nick are back in a new, surfing, dancing, laughing, eating, doodling, partying, kissing, swimming, picture-taking, birthday-bashing, souvineer-shopping, face-slapping adventure to the beautiful beaches of the (made-up) town of Costal, Mexico!
Nick's girlfriend Ashley sends him and his brothers to the beautiful Casa de Caliente, which, they find out from their over-attractive "tour guide," aka, Vasila Puerez, means House of Hot! And it IS, with amazing views, awesome room service, and posh bedrooms (which, of course, they fight over.)
But things take a turn for the worse when Cody and Rhino sneak out to go to Vasila's cousin Mia's birthday party, where Rhino meets Trinity, a red-headed DJ from New York. This was supposed to be a secret from Nick, who wasn't invited, even if NOTHING happened!
But Nick is willing to blackmail his brothers when one request doesn't go his way. Cody and Rhino are trapped by their baby brother who, they are discovering, may be more evil, spoiled, and clever then they'd thought.
What will Rhino, being oldest, do to stop his brothers from fighting, his crush and his brother from kissing, his mom from finding out about the party, and them eating the hotel out of house and home? Or will this trip just be one big nightmare?

Money
The Lucky children (Amy, Rio, Danny, and Lucas, from oldest to youngest) are pampered, intelligent, and rich. They live with their mother and father in a large, old house in a town accustomed to storms. One afternoon that starts out innocently enough turns to trouble when the Lucky children are sent out to pick up an envelope from a kind, old aunt.
Returning home, they find that an enormous storm has crushed their house, killed their parents, and taken away everything they have. But this is not the only trouble they are faced with.
Their father, who had somehow known the storm would do this, had written his will and had left all of the money to his fourteen-year-old son, Rio, when he turned eighteen. However, the Lucky orphans need the money NOW if they're ever going to survive. Sent to live with their Uncle Peter, Aunt Belle, and two cousins, one of which befriends Amy, the other is a mystery to all four, they find out they may need the money even sooner then they'd hoped.
Now having to face horrors like daily chores, making their own breakfast, acting like a normal child, and worst of all working in a factory that makes who-knows-what, the wealthy-to-be orphans MUST get their money and go back to their old way of life.
Or will the money never come?
