As the new year approaches, best friends Ronny, whose family is in financial trouble, and Josefina, who has a big audition at a prestigious music academy, must learn how to depend on one another and their community when things get tough.

"Eight hundred and seventy-eight dollars. That's how much Ronny needs by January 4 to keep his family's only car from getting repossessed. Since his dad was injured at his work, Ronny's been learning all sorts of things -- like how banks can take your belongings away for being behind on payments, and letters marked with the words 'Final Notice' should never be ignored. His best friend, Jo, is also counting down until the start of January -- that's when she has her big cello audition at Maple Hill Conservatory, a prestigious music academy. Except she can't perform by herself without something disastrous happening and no one seems to listen when she talks about how anxious she is. When an unexpected opportunity offers a solution to both of their problems and the countdown to the new year rolls ahead, can Ronny and Jo get it together before everything comes crashing down?" -- from publisher.
