It's summer time! And where better to spend it than on a Californian beach? Not the sands of Sweet Valley, though, because Lila, Jess and Liz are heading to Malibu, where they have been employed via a worryingly casual childcare agency to work as "mother's helpers".

And if you've been missing the Old Timey Gangster Talk, today is your lucky, lucky day - just wait until you meet Frankie La Salle...
