Overview:

When George is home alone, she is finally free to act like her true self. She looks in the mirror and calls herself Melissa, combs her hair and tries on lipstick. But everyone else thinks George is a boy. When her class begins preparing to perform ‘Charlotte’s Web’, George knows that she wants to play the role of Charlotte more than anything. But George’s teacher tells her not to try out for the part because she is a boy. With the help of her best friend Kelly, George concocts a plan to reveal her true identity to her parents, teachers, and peers.
