Mallory has a lot to deal with for an almost nine year old girl. She and her best friend from her old house are watching Fashion Fran on TV via phone and become determined to purchase the Perfect Purse. This way they can be the same when Mary Ann comes to visit in a week. Mallory asks her parents repeatedly for the purse, but to no avail.
After advice from Grandma, Mallory starts not one, not two or three, but four businesses. Each one was a failure and she is no closer to the purse her friend's mom has already purchased. Being less than honest, Mallory tells her family part of the money will go towards her brother's birthday present and the rest toward the purse.
Mallory makes a bunch of money, but is it enough to do all that she wants? She has pressure from her mom, her friend, and her brother and wants to make a choice she is happy with. Good economic lessons on opportunity cost!
