Vacation is coming up, and the B.Y. Timesers are determined to make an unforgettable New York City trip. The only problem is—how will they pay for it?

 The girls put their heads together and come up with an idea. Actually…two ideas. Some of the girls want to earn money by doing odd jobs. Others put their faith in a new, improved B.Y. Times—and the five hundred dollar prize that’s offered for the best school newspaper. And suddenly the friends are split into two warring camps, as everyone sets out to prove that her way is the best…little suspecting the new and real danger that’s coming closer day by day… There’s suspense and fun and lessons learned, in Dollars and Sense.
