No Beasts! No Children!

When the landlord discovers that Desdemona Blank's family has not one but three large dogs, he gives them sixty days: Get rid of the dogs. Or get out.

But the Blanks are a magnet for strays, be they animals, mysterious guests, or Sherman, the landlord's wimpy son. They can't even get rid of their terrifying housekeeper, Mrs. Farisee. How can they move? Everywhere they look, it's the same thing--"No Beasts. No Children."

No beasts? No children? No way! Desdemona has to make the landlord change his mind. And Sherman, the landlord's own son, turns out to be the key in her desperate plan.
