Girls make Harris Harper nervous. He usually loses his voice and wits when he's around them--so he avoids them. He's busy enough baby-sitting four-year-old Jamey Benya and living with his own family's disorganized mess of dirty dishes, open cereal boxes, and newspapers on the floor! Not the middle of the chaos, raising money for a homeless shelter. Now his friend Bert wants to add girls to Harris's problems. Harris is terrified that he won't know what to say, or that the girls Bert wants to hang out with might meet his embarrassing family. If only he was born into a perfect family--like the Benyas--he might be able to deal with it all.

But all this stuff seems suddenly like nothing when Harris sees the Benyas face terrible trouble, and he discovers there's a lot he didn't know perfect families, his own family. . .and about girls.
