Plot
In 1987, young and geeky Jenna Rink yearns to be popular, but can only persuade the "Six Chicks" – the ruling clique led by Lucy "Tom-Tom" Wyman – to attend her 13th-birthday party by doing their homework. Jenna's best friend, Matt "Matty" Flamhaff, brings her a pink dollhouse he made himself, and a packet of "magic wishing dust" he sprinkles on the dollhouse roof.
