Nicolette se comporte comme un garçon. Pendant que ses amies courent les boutiques et discutent rouge à lèvres, Nicolette s'achète de nouvelles chaussures de basketball et pratique ses lancers au panier. Lorsqu'elle fait la rencontre d'un beau garçon nommé Ben, les choses changent. Elle est prête à changer de style pour attirer son attention! Le temps presse, car la plus grosse fête de l'école a lieu bientôt.  Heureusement, Nicolette peut compter sur l'aide de sa meilleure amie, qui lui propose une transformation tirée d'un article de magazine... Nicolette pourra-t-elle changer de style tout en restant elle-même?

Nicolette Spicer ("Nick" to her friends) is a tomboy through and through. While her friends focus on shopping and lip gloss, Nick would rather buy new basketball shoes and practice her free throw. But everything changes when she meets a cutie named Ben and decides she has to ditch the jock look if she wants him to notice her. With the biggest party of the school year just ten days away, Nick is in a crunch. But when her best friend Lindsay suggests a magazine-article-inspired makeover, it seems like the perfect solution. But can Nick change her looks and still be herself?

Original title: Candy Apple: How To Be a Girly Girl in Just Ten Days
