Amalee is told to spend the money on something important, so she decides to make a movie about endangered species. Soon there''s as much going on behind the scenes as there is in front of the camera, as Amalee deals with a new friend, a very cute older boy, her wacky family friends, and a host of other challenges. She also discovers something she never expected to find — a link with her mother, who disappeared and died when she was very little.
