Not many girls have a mom whoand#8217;d take them to a graveyard for hide-and-seek or fill the bathtub with ice cream for the worldand#8217;s biggest sundae. But as much as Tori loves having fun, she sometimes wishes her mom would act a little more her age. Like now.andlt;BRandgt; andlt;BRandgt;Thanks to her momand#8217;s poor financial planning, they are in danger of losing their business and their home. But an unusual opportunity arises in the form of a bizarre type of contest put on by an eccentric relative: Whoever can survive two weeks in the Archibald Familyand#8217;s colonial manor will inherit the property.
