Big Winner (Orca Currents series)

Fourteen-year-old Skye Richardson moves with her mother across the country, leaving her home, school, and friends for a small East Coast town. At a local coffee shop, she meets Digby Jones, who lives in a group home, enjoys Ping-Pong and television, and prefers things done in a particular way. When Digby reveals that he holds the town’s million-dollar lottery ticket, Skye acts to protect him from people seeking to exploit him.
