Samantha Slayton worries about everything. Like her height (tall), her feet (big), and Brian Finnegan. Not to mention being forced to go to dancing school. It doesn't help to have a mother who's a poet, a father who's a mathematician, and a brother who wins prizes for his paintings. The final blow comes when Sam's mother makes a scene at the parent-child basketball game and really embarrasses Sam. Sam begins to wonder: can she trade in her family for somebody else's?
