Description: Learning to dance before the winter ball is thirteen-year-old Annabelle's latest challenge, supplying ample material for her video blog, Daphne Doesn't--even more challenging is coping with the exposure of her secret identity (it turns out her friend John has known for weeks) by "cool" girl and sometime enemy Rachael, and finding a way to make what she has been hiding right with all her classmates.
