《微笑》Smile
After a fall which damages her two front teeth, Raina begins a long journey filled with orthodontic intervention. Meanwhile, there are a slew of other things in this sixth grader's life that are adding to her adolescent anxiety, including a major earthquake, boy trouble and typical cliquish drama.
《姐妹》Sisters
Raina has always wanted to be a big sister, but after the the baby arrives she starts to wonder why. Although very cute, her new sister is also very needy. Their relationship does not start to improve until the arrival of a new young brother for both of them and they start really working together when things between their parents don't quite seem right.
《戏剧》Drama
Kelly, passionate about theater, immersed herself in Eucalyptus Middle School's production of "The Moon on the Mi River." Despite her singing limitations, she excelled as a set designer.
