Thirteen year-old Edwina Spoonapple would do anything to be a part of the Kalamazoo Advice-a-palooza Festival. When a talent scout from the convention visits her hometown of Paw Paw, she trots out her musical advice giving shows live from the family garage in hopes of finding her place in the spotlight. Edwina is assisted by her older siblings and a host of quirky friends. Together they set out to tackle the world’s problems, in number after hysterical number about everything from birthday party etiquette to the proper way to set a table.
