What could be worse than school holidays with a dull dad, a boring stepmother, and twin toddler brothers?

Eleven-year-old Sherry Sharples had been dreaming of spending time with her glamorous, jet-setting mother. But instead, she's shipped off unexpectedly to her father's chaotic home—and she's not happy about it.

With a prickly attitude and a desperate need to feel wanted, Sherry's best efforts to be helpful often go hilariously wrong. From garage mishaps to goat-pulled go-carts, she soon finds herself tangled in misadventures with two neighbourhood boys and a house full of baby drama.

But as the holidays roll on, so does Sherry's understanding—of her dad, her stepmother, and even herself.
