'I don’t think I’ve found my thing yet. Other than being a girl, of course. It sometimes feels like that’s my job in this family, just being the only daughter, the little princess.'

Bee, Alice and Cleo met at the after-school club GAS (Girls Achieving at STEM) and are now inseparable. Together they have entered the prestigious Think League Challenge and Bee is determined to win. However, it sometimes feels like an uphill battle. Alice and Cleo don’t seem to be taking the competition as seriously as her, and her family are more interested in her role as bridesmaid at her aunt’s upcoming wedding. Bee sets out to achieve her dreams in her own, but soon discovers that going solo isn’t all it’s cracked up to be and that friends and family are more important than she thought.
