Meet the Bakers . . . Mr. and Mrs. Baker always wanted children—so they went out and adopted 12 of them! There are Christine, Mark, Hilary, Olivia, Collette, Patty, Kenny, Howie, Kevin, Terry, Jack, and Dixie. Now they have their own “Bakers’ Dozen” and life in their big country home is never boring. Who’s the new girl in Wild Falls?She’s Alice Birmingham, and the moment Hilary sees her, she wants Alice to be her best friend. But Alice is beautiful . . . and rich. How can Hilary possibly impress a girl who wears gorgeous clothes and belongs to a country club? When you have 11 brothers and sisters, there isn’t much money for anything extra. Hilary thinks she knows how to win over Alice. But will she have to pay too high a price?
