Then Bill's dreams turn to mega mansions, fancy cars, and superstars. With the magical help of his friend Penny, Bill's wish for wealth comes true. Suddenly he's a ten thousand dollar bill--one of the biggest bills in history! But when glamorous Thousand steps in to show him the ropes, he begins to worry his grand new life might not be what he was banking on"--Provided by publisher.
