Longe da mãe pela primeira vez na vida e dentro de um ônibus de excursão cheio de crianças enlouquecidas, Mia tem mais um dia maluco pela frente. Para começar, o Bereba, que agora é seu Namorado com N maiúsculo, apareceu no ônibus com o cabelo espetado. Seus amigos resolveram brincar de chão de lava e cantar músicas rimadas um tanto maldosas. Lá fora, sua mãe está muito esquisita desde que começou a namorar um moço carecacabeludo que rouba a faca do pão com manteiga na hora do jantar. E, de repente, todo mundo parece se importar com o fato de Mia e Bereba não terem se beijado ainda…

Mia estava tendo um dia normal, mas tudo vira de cabeça para baixo quando recebe um convite inesperado, acompanhado por um chocolate de Bereba, um menino que até então era só um amigo. Isso desencadeia uma sucessão de eventos engraçados e inusitados—e, mais do que decidir qual é a sua resposta, Mia precisa lidar com a chegada nem sempre tranquila da pré-adolescência.
