I am not a pest!Everyone says Homer is a pest -- especially his sisters, Lolly, Molly, Polly and Dolly. But Homer knows he isn't and soon he has the chance to prove it!

High school senior Hallie Mayhew spends her days traipsing from one lavish Montecito estate to the next . . . spraying ant poison. Between her dad’s pest control company, her mom’s pond cleaning service and her side gig at Caddysnack (Santa Barbara’s premier small plates and minigolf destination) Hal puts the “work” in working class. But Hal has qualms about gassing gophers. She’s tired of ditching friends to skim dead fish from fountains. And she’s freaking weary of divorced-parent politics. So Hal has a plan: win the prestigious Verhaag Scholarship, go to an east coast school, never come back. But the Verhaag Scholarship has a proud history of nepotism and a last-minute contender just crawled out of the woodwork. Hal’s parking lot nemesis usurps Yearbook Committee, depriving Hal of her only extracurricular credit. Her Montecito clients are in a defensive frenzy over a rash of estate burglaries and, if her jobs keep making her tardy, she may not even graduate. To salvage her scholarship, Hal needs the help of Spencer Salazar, the dim, infuriating (and kinda hot) rich kid next door. To save her college prospects, she must restore the natural order of Yearbook Committee. To preserve her graduation eligibility, she needs a happy first period history teacher. And, ideally, she’ll avoid death by doberman. Now, in her non-existent spare time, Hal is adding private eye, matchmaker, and rat commando to her list of side gigs and wondering—maybe too late—if she misjudged the boy next door.

But it’s not long before Katie decides to steal Wendy’s thunder by taking riding lessons herself. Soon, the two sisters are in competition again, and this time Wendy is not going to let her sister win. Can the two overcome their rivalry and become friends—or is being first more important? This ebook features an illustrated personal history of Ann M. Martin, including rare images from the author’s collection.

He messes up games. He draws on the wall. He won't take turns, and he won't share. That little kid is nothing but a big pest!
