It is Television-Turnoff Week, and Zeke and his friends are wondering what they will do with their time without their favorite programs and videogames.

Third-grader Zeke Meeks already has two sisters, so he is bitterly disappointed when his new neighbor proves to be a girl, but she might be able to change his mind and prove to him that boys and girls can play together.

Third-grader Zeke Meeks needs to win the prize in the science project contest because the class bully is threatening him, but so far all his ideas are ending in messy disasters.

All the children in the third grade except Zeke Meeks are playing with the newest fad, Puppet Pals finger puppets, but Zeke would rather play basketball than give in to the pressure and join them.

Zeke's class is having a talent show, and Brassy Glass, from America's Next Superstar, will be coming to the show as the judge--but Zeke cannot figure out what talent he actually has and, as usual, his sisters are no help at all.

Zeke wants to bring home the class hamster, so to prove that he is responsible, he promises his mother that he will take care of the family dog for a whole week--after that it is one disaster after another.

As if coming up with a school project at the last minute is not enough trouble, Zeke also has to deal with his cousin Sam--who is just too perfect to be completely believable.

Zeke's third grade class is putting on a play and Zeke is unhappy and annoyed with what he sees as too small a role--until his mother teaches him the meaning of the saying "there are no small parts, only small actors.
