Disaster strikes when Gabrielle arrives in France for her summer vacation. Instead of being delivered to the luxury, four-star hotel she''d been promised, she suddenly finds herself thrown at the mercies of the awful Potter family -- that''s Matt, Don (an inter-galactic triple speaker), Mrs. Potter, the baby, Benjy, and the twins... Gabrielle is a spoiled rich kid, who at first can''t stand the scruffy Potters. But after a series of hilarious adventures and misadventures -- involving her father''s new sportscar, a fancy French restaurant, and the nearby camping ground -- she grudgingly admits that she has had fun amidst the good-natured, chaotic Potter family. This fast-paced, humorous story should find many fans among younger readers.
