Prizewinners of Piedmont Place Series : Titles in Order

Book 2
The humor and heart of Modern Family meets wacky contests in book two of this series, which asks: What could be more fun than a fun house?
 
A local theme park called Funland is hosting a huge contest to turn one family’s home into the ultimate fun house. Who wouldn’t want a slide from the bedroom to the backyard, a bumper-car kitchen, or a ball pit for a living room?
 
The Talaska family is eager to compete! And the stakes are high. Their house is falling apart, and they might have to move away from Piedmont Place forever. Cal knows that his family can win, but it won’t be easy. First he and his sister, Imo, need to win a competition at school. Then the whole family has to live at Funland and find a hidden object. Can they really search every corner of the park in just five days? There’s only one way to find out. Let the contest begin!
Book 1
The lovable wackiness of Modern Family meets zany contests in this delightful new series that will have readers laughing out loud!
 
Cal Talaska can’t wait for his family to win the Great Grab Contest! The prize? Twenty minutes to grab anything in the world-famous Wish Shoppe! He knows his family will leave the competition in the dust, but first he has to convince them to compete!
 
To get their eyes on the prize, Cal focuses on what his family wants from the Wish Shoppe—a gym for Mom, a whole orchestra for Dad, tools to build a spaceship for little sister Imo, and candy for baby brother Bug! Cal would do anything to get them to compete, even if that means tricking them into it . . . They’ll thank him later!
 
When it comes to the Talaskas, family always comes first. But can Cal convince them to go for first place too?
