Jan Pratt was both fascinated and bewildered by the Averys. She had always wanted to be part of a large family but obviously had taken on more than bargained for when she agreed to change places with Molly Avery for one month. The exuberant harum-scarum, unpredictable Averys were as different from the quiet, orderly Pratts as day is from night...This is a lovely story of family haps and mishaps, and of an only child who comes to know herself in a way that will stand her in good stead for the rest of her life.
