Seventh-grader Robyn (called Robbie) Forester comes into possession of a magic charm just as a developer tries to push small business owners out of the neighborhood by raising their rents. Using her private school friends and newly discovered powers from the charm, Robbie and company are able to thwart the greedy bad guys. The topic is timely, but it's all a little obvious.
