Belinda turns to Sallyher unflappable best friend and resident witchfor help. Belinda doesn't believe in magic, but if Sally says she has a spell for confidence...well, it couldn't hurt to try it. Could it?

What follows the spell is a series of disasters so disastrous they would have been funnyif only they weren't happening to Belinda! From eating dog food, to losing her hair in a straightening mishap, to wrecking a mural and ending up with globs of paint on her head, things get worse and worse for Belinda until she must face the facts: One piece of bad luck can be explained away, but this? This is a straight-up curse!

Can she break the curse before the dreamy Ricky Daniels takes notice of her crooked wig?

More importantly, can Belinda battle the very thing she hoped the spell would take away: her embarrassment?
