When family is all you have, it turns out to be everything you need.

The five Pepper children have almost nothing; their tiny brown house is falling apart, their mother works from dawn to dusk just to buy bread, and they light their home with a single flickering candle. But they have each other, and that makes them the richest family in the world.

But everything changes the day they meet Jasper, a lonely, rich boy who discovers that the Pepper family has something his wealth could never buy. One friendship leads to the most incredible adventure—and the biggest choice their family has ever faced.

Can the Peppers hold onto what makes them special when everything else in their world changes?
