fun book

This is a great book. Its about this girl who's mom is a "fake" fortune teller. Their life has been spent moving to different towns trying con people out of their money. Its funny, entertaining, and you are always looking forward to the next chapter.

A moving story of freedom evolves.

But Annie's tired of her role and she wants a real life with friends and school: Peach Hill seems the place she might be able to break free of her deceptions and a mother who wants her to constantly lie. A moving story of freedom evolves.
