Babysitting for the Sidows

"Jellybeans have a vicious cycle of life. They remind me of teens."

JoLise (Lise) Willman has her perfect boyfriend Jake, the perfect tiny city, supposedly even a perfect life. She isn't an outcast or particularly popular. Her three close friends are a pair of identical twins and her boyfriend. She knows everyone in her town. Lise can tell you the birth date of half the population. But, when her meddlesome sort of ex stepmom tries to set her up with an intruder, Mr. Seamus James, her life is not turned upside down. It is sent spiralling off into the dark oblivion of space.

If only to complicate things there's also her ridiculously dysfunctional family to ruin everything! Oh and don't forget that this is teen fiction! Humor, surprises, and romance behind every corner. Now, welcome to the small town of Ladenwood, Alberta...
