Synopsis

Everyone is excited about the school play -- except for Total Tomboy Zibby, who thinks acting is utterly boring. But when she learns that the main character in the play is a soccer star, just like her, she decides that playing a famous athlete and having tons of adoring fans would be More Than Okay. After she gets the part, she realizes her character has to kiss a boy. Even worse, the boy is her soccer buddy ... and he may actually like her. That way. Zibby will do anything to get out of The Kiss, if it means rewriting the script, wearing plastic lips, or quitting the show! Can she find a way out of smooching on stage without letting down her cast members, or will she wreck the entire sixth grade musical?
