Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0590450530, Paperback)

Lucas Cott is ready for a summer vacation -- no more homework, no teachers, no rules! But when his mother hires a French au pair named Genevieve to help take care of Lucas and his younger brothers, he thinks it will be like living with a teacher all summer.

The mischievous Lucas can't help taking advantage of "General Genevieve" -- ice cream for dinner and a popcorn blizzard are just two of his victories. And when he climbs the painter's ladder and sits on the roof, he doesn't mind the punishment he gets. It was worth it. Or was it?

Johanna Hurwitz, author of the best-selling Class Clown, treats readers to a warm and funny story about a boy who learns that the end of school doesn't mean a vacation from responsibility.
