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?
