Description: MacKenzie "Mickey" Williams is the new student at FAB Middle School (Fashion Academy of Brooklyn), a training ground for the fashion designers of tomorrow. But Mickey's goth makeup, multicolored hair, and mismatched shoes make her a "walking fashion don't." When Mickey proves herself to be a star pupil, her classmates want even less to do with her. So, in order to fit in, Mickey decides it's time for a major makeover. The new, trendy "Kenzie" is able to blend in like a true fashionista. But will gaining acceptance come at the price of losing herself?
