Sixth grade was so much easier for Danielle. All her friends were in the same room and she knew what to expect from her life. But now that she' s in seventh grade, she' s in a new middle school, her friends are in different classes and forming new cliques, and she is completely lost. When Danielle inherits a magical sketchbook from her eccentric great aunt Elma, she draws Madison, an ideal best friend that springs to life right off the page! But even when you create a best friend, it' s not easy navigating the ups and downs of relationships, and before long Danielle and Madison are not exactly seeing eye-to-eye. To make matters worse, Danielle has drawn the head of her favourite (and totally misunderstood) cartoon villain, Prince Neptune. He' s also come to life and is giving her terrible advice about how to make people like her. When she rejects him and he goes on a rampage during a school pep rally, Danielle and Madison have to set aside their differences to stop him!
