Samantha Byrd is a klutz. An accident waiting to happen. She's the laughingstock of the girl's basketball team and that mean, rotten Judith Bellwood is making her life miserable off the court. But that all changed when this: One afternoon. When Sam gets off the bus from school. She almost runs into Clarissa, a creepy lady (known as a witch) who could grant her three wishes. Only she wasn't careful when she made those wishes, and now that they're coming true, her life is turning into a living nightmare!
