A lighthearted teen comedy about a spoiled American girl learning humility and friendship at an English boarding school, built on warmth, humor, and the promise of personal growth.

Sixteen-year-old Poppy has everything her unlimited credit cards can buy, and a spoiled attitude to match. After a final thoughtless prank, her exasperated father ships her off to boarding school in England. There, Poppy meets her match in a stern headmistress and a class full of girls who will not tolerate her selfishness.
