Eighth-grader Wilma has just about had it with her lack of popularity--she has no friends, her teacher just read a report of hers out loud which didn't make matters any easier, since her report was about spending the day as a dog. Now all Wilma hears in the school corridors are woofs and barks behind her back. But to make matters worse, a classmate asks her if she's sniffed any, well, butts lately! Wilma wishes there was a way to be popular. One day, after she's kind enough to offer bus seat to an elderly woman, she has no idea that her life is about to change....Will her wish come true?
