[edit] Synopsis
Spinelli: the embodiment of unruffled toughness on the Third Street playground. But Randall has a terrible secret: the knowledge of Spinelli's full name. After a scuffle one recess, he reveals that her first name is "Ashley". This horrifies the others, who know that so far, every child named Ashley has been taken into a self-declared "Ashley Club", whose members delight in make-up sessions, tea-drinking, and watching videos about unicorns-- exactly the sort of thing Spinelli has always hated. Spinelli is dragged away to the clubhouse, where the Ashley Girls try to brainwash her and give her a makeover-- the latter more successful than the former. Despite Spinelli's protests, they persevere in welcoming "Ashley-S" to the club, hoping to break her rebellious nature by forcing her to do all the group's errands. But Spinelli's friends have not abandoned her, and invent a risky but exciting plan to rescue her... thanks to a stockpile of altered library cards and passes, they claim that every single child on the playground is named "Ashley". Either the Ashley Girls must take every last one of them into perfectly-manicured slavery, or release Ashley-S back into the arms of her friends. With their clubhouse invaded by noisy, ungroomed kids, the Ashleys don't need much help to make the decision.
