Book Summary:
Ajay Anthonipillai has a million dollar program.
Ajay has lived his life dutifully following the rules set down by his Tamil parents.
Rule #3- Straight A's only
Rule #5- There's no such thing as a no-homework day
Rule #10- Never watch scary movies
However, moving to a new school gives Ajay a new rule to follow: get on 7th grade all-star Jacob Underson's good side. When Jacob asks Ajay to steal a Mercury bar from Scary Al's convenience store, Ajay feels like this is his chance to "get cool" and finally stop eating alone. But Jacob rejects the stolen chocolate bar, leaving Ajay to unwrap it and discover that it contains Mercury's Twenty-Fifth Anniversary Grand Prize- one million dollars.
Faced with an extreme dilemma, Ajay will have to bear the weight of his actions and battle his morality in deciding whether to claim the prize that could change the life of his family, forever.
