She thinks if her mom can see the magic of the flowers it will help her mom recover from depression. Can Natalie and her friends win, and can they help her mother?

Review:  I loved this book because of how funny and touching it is. The characters were unique, and all of them had their flaws. I also liked it because the main character changes from the beginning to the end. In the beginning, she is quiet and nearly invisible, and in the end, she is braver. This also had a light sense of humour in it which made it enjoyable. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes books that are about family and are ages 7+.
