Jessica Wakefield and her best friend, Lila Fowler, are at war! The battlefield is the white sandy beach of Club Paradise, a fabulous island resort owned by Lila's uncle. Jessica's dream of lounging by the pool and dancing the night away are shattered when she learns that Lila's uncle has less relaxing plans for them: Jessica and Lila aren't guests, they're hired hand! Jessica's going to make Lila pay for this, and she's determined the price will be Lila's new Club Paradise boyfriend.
Back home in Sweet Valley, Jessica's twin sister, Elizabeth, makes a shocking discovery. While researching her family history, she unearths a secret about her mother's past that could change the future of the Wakefield family.

"Lila, I want to know the truth," Jessica said in a horrified whisper. "What are we doing in Kiddie Paradise?"
"Babysitting," Lila mumbled.
"Babysitting?"
"Well, not exactly babysitting," Lila amended. "We're camp coucelors."
"Camp coucelors in Kiddie Paradise?" Jessica screamed. "Why? How? Why didn't you tell me?"
"Two coucelors dropped out at the last minute. My parents volunteered me and a friend."
"A friend?" Jessica asked. "I wouldn't do this to my worst enemy! This was supposed to be the best vacation of my life. I'm in the Caribbean. My clothes are in Miami. And I have to spend the week in Minchkin Land, taking care of little monsters?"
"Look at it from my point of veiw, Jess. How would you like to be stuck here watching little kids all week, by yourself? This wasn't my idea! I'm here against my will, too."
Jessica shook her head. "Oh, no. This isn't the same thing at all. You lied to me! You got ma here under false pretenses!"
"I'm sorry, Jess," Lila said with a sniffle. "But you're my very closest friend, and I thought you would understand. We may be stuck here with a bunch of screaming brats, but at least we've got eahother."
"Oh,no!" Jessica said. "I may be stuck with you, but I'll never forgive you for this. I'm never speaking to you again!"
