Lucky by Rachel Vail

Not exactly a riches to rags story, but a riches to not-so-rich story.  Amazingly insightful writing about friendship dynamics in middle school.

Years ago we liked to imagine stuff together, adventures in her backyard or mine where we took turns being the tragically dying younger sister (she only has a younger brother) or back in time to prairie days (she'd been obsessed with the Little House on the Prairie books by Laura Ingalls Wilder, which I couldn't get through at all; it just seemed like long stretches of weather punctuated by Pa making another chair).
