description: Conventional 14-year-old Julia detests the hippie-like commune where her mother has taken them both to live, and longs for a normal family with a charming house where carrot juice and wheat-germ puddinga are never served. Andre, Julia's classmate, can't bear her home life either - although to Julia it appears to be the picture of familial happiness. Andre's parents are constantly arguing, her father's impeccable neatness and rigid ways stifle Andre's creativitiy, and if she hears the phrase "I just can't afford it" one more time from a father who certainly could afford it, she'll move out just like her brother did. Labled misfits at the snobbish Rossiter Hall school, the girls befriend each other and take over an abandoned cottage after school, where they can seek refuge from the outside world. All is well until Laurie, beautiful Laurie, an 18-year-old boy on the run, appears one day at the cottage, and convinces each girl she is the one he truly loves best...
