totally best friends! Fed up with nonstop testing, Miranda and Maude’s

is finally a joy, and the project inspires the girls to fight for more

Miranda. But, much to Maude’s frustration, Miranda would rather focus on
her own good cause: love! The girls can’t seem to see eye to eye, and
in pursuing their good causes separately, they go way too far, resulting
in the friendship’s first-ever fight.

The only thing sixteen-year-old Amelia Anderson loves more than movies is her older brother, Toby, a larger-than-life force, as popular with the cheerleaders as with the stoners. Amelia, on the other hand, is addicted to Netflix and afraid to drive. But she doesn’t mind. She’s happy playing the sidekick in the movie version of Toby’s life. But when a devastating event takes Toby out of the picture, Amelia’s left without a star. Ready or not, she has to step into her own spotlight. It’s time to get out of her head, get off of Netflix, and get behind the camera—and the wheel.
