The girls are watching a movie at their sleepover, when they
see a commercial for a new music group called Boodles. They are going to be
filming a video in Riverhurst, and if you can guess where it will be filmed
from clues they give out, you can be in it. The girls think that would be
really cool.
Over the course of the night, the girls accidentally eat
most of a chocolate mousse Kate’s mom made for a party the next night. The
girls do their best to make a new one, and end up making a huge mess, but they
eventually get it done. While looking outside for violets to crystalize, Lauren
notices a light on in the empty McBride house.
On their way to the mall, the girls get talked into playing
baseball with a group of boys. Stephanie purposefully messes up a throw so her
crush, Michael, can score. When they hear about auditions for a school play,
Stephanie thinks that will be the perfect way to get Michael to notice her. She
gets Patti to agree to audition, too, even though she’s super shy and messes up
a lot when they’re rehearsing.
The next sleepover is at Patti’s house. Her annoying cousin,
Lester, is staying there for the weekend. He pulls a bunch of pranks on the
girls, like putting red pepper on the pizza and olive oil in sodas. He also
locks them in the attic when they’re up there practicing for auditions. Patti
has to climb out the window and down a tree. Unfortunately the burglar alarm
goes off when she tries to crawl in the kitchen window.
On the day of auditions, Stephanie and Patti have to read
with Michael. Stephanie gets stage fright because of Michael. Patti does fine
however, because she’s rehearsed so much and she’s worried about Stephanie and
not herself.
Patti ends up getting the lead, and Michael will be playing
her love interest. Stephanie is fucking pissed. She won’t talk to any of the
other girls, and refuses to go to the next sleepover at Lauren’s house.
At said sleepover, the girls hear strange noises outside.
They go out, and figure out it’s coming from the old McBride house. Taking
Bullwinkle with them for protection, they go to investigate. Suddenly
Bullwinkle takes off, and when they catch up with him, Bullwinkle is on top of
Russell Gartner, the lead singer of Boodles. The girls figure out that this is
where the video will be shot. The news that they’ll get to be in the video makes
Stephanie forget she was mad.
The girls learn that making a video is a lot of work. They
also learn Boodles isn’t a very good band. But Stephanie decides she’s
forgotten about Michael, and now thinks Russell Gartner is cute.

One of Stephanie’s new ideas about clothes is
wearing her sweatshirt upside down over her legs. Doesn’t Karen do that in a
BSC book?
o
The name of the video is “I’ve Gone Dotty Over
You” and is filmed in a black and white polka dot painted room. Does that count
as Room Porn?
Stephanie was just into swants before they were cool. Or a thing.
