When Addy has to work at the fair with snobby Harriet, their feud heats up again—until tragedy forces the girls to soften their hearts. The fair is a great success. Then, suddenly, the girls discover that the money they've raised has been stolen. Addy saves the day, which ends with a wonderful surprise.
