Say "Hi", to Andrea Thomas (we call her "Drea") - seventh grader at Hampton Falls Junior High and the most imaginative babysitter since Mary Poppins. Drea has an unusual knack for winding up in the middle of things - like a wacky campaign for class president against Arlene Blake, "Miss Popularity". When black mustaches "mysteriously" appear on all of Arlene's posters (thanks to Drea's campaign manager and best friend, Kimberly), Mrs. Long, the school principal, steps in and expresses disappointment in Drea's actions.

For five-foot-tall Drea Thomas, making the girls' basketball team seems hopelessly out of reach - especially if the tough new coach is only taking 12 players! But Drea's perspective changes, thanks to a poster of basketball star A.C. Green that comes to life to remind her even the pros have challenges to overcome.

Drea learns about the true meaning of Christmas.
