Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield are nearly bursting with excitement. Spring break has arrived, and the twins are off to the glamourous South of France! it's the vacation of a lifetime; Elizabeth can't wait to practice her French, but Jessica's dying to meet those romantic French boys.
The Riviera turns out to be even more beautiful and wonderous than the twins had imagined, with it's beach clubs, magnificent mansions, and glittering Mediterranean Sea. But while the Frenchwoman with whom Jessica and Elizabeth are staying is a welcome hostess, her handsome son, Rene, is arrogant and rude. Can the twins figure out why Rene seems to despise them, or will he spoil their dream vacation?
In no time fkat, the seat belt sign was on again. Elizabeth had to swallow hard to clear her ears while the plane swooped downward. She noticed Jessica nervously clutching the armrests as the wheels of the plane lowered and the ground seemed to jump up at them. But as soon as they had touched down smoothly, Jessica was all smiles again.
"Come on, Liz!" Jessica exclaimed. "I want us to be the first ones off this plane!" She was up the second the seat belt sign went off.
"What happened to the Jessica Wakefield who always takes her time?" Elizabeth teased.
"Liz," Jessica responded in dead earnest, "we've only got a week. I don't intend to waste a minute more of it on this airplane."
Jessica was right. This was going to be a vacation they would remember forever.
There wasn't a second to lose!
