And now Jessica's sure that if anyone - especially her sister - finds out that it hasn't happened to her, she'll die of humiliation.
Then the twins get permission to travel to San Diego by themselves to visit their cousin Robin. It's the perfect opportunity for Jessica to prove just how grown-up she really is. But will acting older than her age get Jessica into more trouble than she can handle?
