Eleven-year-old Zaritza, a self-described drama queen, enjoys neither the "hideous" class ferret nor her "stupid" math homework, but agrees to take care of them for much needed extra credit. When the feisty protagonist loses control of both, her participation in the school play is in jeopardy. The fast-paced, amusing plot turns self-serving Zaritza around in time for opening night.
