Jessica Wakefield and her twin sister, Elizabeth, have pursuaded their parents to get three-way calling for their phone. Jessica is psyched - more gossiping, more matchmaking, more fun!
There's just one problem. Jessica didn't read the directions carefully, and when she thinks she's dishing gossip to Lila Fowler, she's also dishing it to Ellen Riteman. And the gossip is about Ellen. The gossip spreads until the entire Unicorn Club is in an all-out gossip war!
Can Jessica turn her telephone tricks around and win back her friends?
"Jessica, you can do cleanup at the party," Ellen said, recovering her tone of authority.
"Cleanup! How can you stick me with cleanup?"
"Somebody has to do it," Ellen said.
"Well, that somebody isn't going to be me," Jessica snapped.
"Yes, it is," Ellen said. "All the other jobs are assigned."
"Well, thank you so much, Ellen," she said. "Good-bye!" She looked at the phone button. This three-way-calling thing made hanging up on someone kind of tricky. "Good-bye!" she shouted again and stabbed the button once. "Lila! Are you still there?"
"I'm here," Lila said.
"Jeez, Ellen is so annoying. It just goes to show you that she can't host a party to save her life. And after her father almost gave Mandy food poisioning too-"
"What? How could you say that?"
Jessica gasped. That had beeen Ellen's voice. "Ellen? Are you still on?"
