Lily B.’s life is “bleaker than an orphan in a Roald Dahl novel.” Her parents, Lenny and Phyllis, are two of the most boring people on the planet. Her mom actually makes beds and folds dirty towels in hotel rooms. Lily is forced to continually watch the History Channel and listen to Broadway’s Greatest Hits on road trips. Her father thinks Britney Spears is a type of imported asparagus.

Life appears to be looking up for Lily when she meets Carma LeBlanc and her incredibly cool parents, Charles and Veronique. Not only are The LeBlancs stylish and modern, they eat only imported organic food. Charles and Veronique read Rolling Stone and know MTV’s top ten video lists in their heads.

Of course Lily’s totally clueless parents discourage her from spending time with Carma and her family, but what do they know? Will Lily become cool or will she create the biggest catastrophe of her life?
