Jessi has a break from ballet classes and her regular gig with the Braddocks’, and she can’t wait to kick back and crack open a good horse book…until she hears that the Mancusi menagerie is in need of a last-minute sitter. What was supposed to be a chill week for Jessi takes a few worrying turns, with an escaped snake, a very fat, self-isolating hamster, and a row among the senior sitters about club roles.
Invite yourself (and all of the neighborhood children) over to the Mancusis’ and squawk with us and our avian friend Frank about Jessi Ramsey, Pet-Sitter.
