Asher Metchik

In 1959, a widower hires a warm-hearted housekeeper/nanny to care for his seven-year-old daughter.

Seven junior-high-school girls organize a daycare camp for children while at the same time experiencing classic adolescent growing pains.

Three children have had it with their mother, and magically make her disappear. They then head out to the "Mommy Market" for a replacement mother.
