It's always been fourteen-year old Vicky's dream to take a trip to New York City. Shy but creative, she thinks she's figured out a sure-fire plan to fund a weekend in the Big Apple with her best friend, Julia. The idea of her lifetime, making a monthly neighborhood newsletter complete with advertising for her babysitting services, seems too good to be true. As neighborhood fame and fortune from babysitting jobs roll in, so does pride - and problems. Just when she reaches the height of success, including developing a new relationship with Sebastian, the cute boy whose family just moved into the house across the street, someone sabotages her newsletter with fake stories. Vicky is devastated when neighbors read the phony newsletter, which includes an article full of awful lies about Sebastian's family. Can Vicky and Julia's determination to find the culprit and seek justice fix the mess and calm furious Sebastian? Vicky's idea may bring her summer riches, a taste of local fame, and the opportunity to help plan the neighborhood's biggest event of the year, but she also faces challenging babysitting jobs, the neighborhood bully, and all the ups and downs of her first romance. You won't regret joining Vicky on her rollercoaster-ride of a summer!
