My name is Zelah Green and I am a Cleanaholic. I spend most of my life on Germ Alert. Or Dirt Alert. It’s a miracle I ever get to school. My life was going OK despite that – you know, school, best friend, bad hair days – until four weeks ago. That’s when Dad vanished.

Now my stepmother has packed me off to a place with some crazy people. So I’m stuck with the Doc and Alice, Lib, Caro and Sol. Sol, who doesn’t speak. Sol, who has brown eyes and olive skin. Sol, who I actually want to touch. Now I’m on Flirt Alert! Maybe, just maybe, something good could happen…
