After Payton humiliates herself at school, her twin, Emma, suggests they swap identities. Emma figures she'll do some damage control and they'll switch back, but trading places proves more appealing than they'd anticipated, and the sisters learn useful, if unsurprising, lessons while in each other's shoes. The plot is unoriginal, but the girls' very different personalities broaden the story's appeal.
