Miss Fortune Cookie - Kurt Scheibner W

When David Douglas puts his family-owned Chinese restaurant on the auction block, his rebellious younger daughter, Sue, recruits the help of Will, the restaurant manager, to keep her grandmother from being forced from the restaurant and sent to a retirement home. The only way for Sue to conjure up millions of dollars in a few weeks is to set up a bogus on-line company to enter the auction in a bidding war with the giant corporation intent on buying the restaurant's property. To raise the seed money to join the auction, Sue begins writing fortune cookie messages for her friends. When all of the messages come true, hundreds of fortune seekers descend on the restaurant all wanting to have their fortunes told. Under intense pressure, Sue claims she's not the fortune teller, just the transcriber. That fabrication doesn't go well when desperate people conclude that Sue's grandmother must be the real fortune teller. Sue's hesitant accomplice, Will, the restaurant manager, is the voice of reason and caution, but he's no match for Sue's determination to build a new restaurant and save Grandma. Although Sue's heart is in the right place, her schemes result in constant chaos and misfortune.
