This is an alternate universe. I tried to keep it canon, but the characters just wouldn't let me. So I went with it. At this point, books #1 - #5 have taken place just as JC wrote. Before that and after that, things change a bit.
These stories feature the Bob-Whites and other Sleepyside residents, oh -- and a nice Jewish family from Brooklyn. I suppose I ought to have changed the names, but I just couldn't. Hopefully I won't get sued.
I hope you enjoy. And can you tell why I'm slightly obsessed with Neil? Gosh, I love staring at this picture. *bag*
