Lila's got the Mother's Day blues...

When Lila Fowler hears about the Sweet Valley Middle School spring fashion show, she knows she's got to be one of the models.

There's only one problem: it's a mother-daughter fashion show, and Lila's mother lives in France. She hasn't seen her in years.

Lila doesn't have her mother's most recent address or phone number-there's no way to contact her. So Lila has to think of something fast. If her mother can't be in the fashion show, maybe someone else could pretend to be her mother. But who?
