Friendships can change fast in middle school, but what if you had the power to change them back? When Casey's friend Lisa decides to start eighth grade by hanging out with the popular kids, Casey uses her smarts as an inventor to build the "Opposite Machine Gadget," which changes things to their opposite. If the cafeteria can turn into a five-star restaurant and basketball practice can turn into sitting around eating junk food, Lisa will turn back to the way she was . . . won't she? A large-cast comedy about friendship and figuring out who you are.
