Gracie LaRoo is famous, especially to her alma mater! But when they ask her to come speak to the students, Gracie is more than a little nervous. Sure enough, the minute she arrives, she encounters the tough principal that used to be hard on her back in her schooldays and then a coach who thinks synchronized swimming is a joke. The worst, though, is finding out she has to speak in front of an entire auditorium of unruly piglets. Will Gracie be able to keep her cool, remember she's a star, and make it through the day?
