After twelve-year-old Apple Yengko is voted third-ugliest girl in Chapel Spring Middle School, her life threatens to spiral out of control. Her refuge is in Beatles music--if only she could afford it, she would buy a guitar and learn to play every one of their songs. However, when she does this, her mother fears she is becoming too American. Two new friends show Apple the value of standing out from a crowd.
