Jessica Wakefield is sick and tired of spoiled Lila Fowler's constant bragging. So when she reads about the Model family contest being sponsored by Teenager Magazine, she's tempted to enter just to put Lila in her place. First prize is a fabulous, all-expenses paid trip to Paris. To compete, all Jessica has to do is write an essay describing her perfect family.
But the family Jessica ends up writing about is nothing like her real family. Still, it's just a joke until her twin, Elizabeth, amils in the essay by mistake. Now it's good-bye France and hello trouble - unless Jessica can convince the Wakefields to pretend to be something they're not!
"Teenager Magazine" Ellen read over Jessica's shoulder. "Did you order something from Teenager Magazine?"
"No," Jessica said, "not that I remember." Suddenly, she did remember. She'd entered that contest!
Jessica's stomach suddenly felt queasy. "I think I'll open this later."
"Don't be silly, Jessica," Janet said. "It came special delivery. That means it's important. You have to open it right away."
So, with everybody standing around looking at her, Jessica opened the envelope.
"Congratulations, Madmoiselle Wakefield," Jessica read out loud, in an unsteady voice. "You and your outstanding French-oriented family have been selected as finalists in our Model Family contest. You are eligible to win a week-long trip to Paris. One of our local representatives will contact you and your family. Godd luck!"
For a few seconds, there was silence. Then Mary said, in an awestruck voice, "A week in Paris! Wow, Jessica, that's fantastic! How lucky can you get?"
